MITRE ATT&CK

The sample contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open macro that utilizes GetObject, indicating an attempt to execute code upon opening. The presence of multiple unknown URLs suggests these are likely download locations for secondary payloads. The ClamAV detection of 'Doc.Downloader.ChristmasGift-9845923-0' further supports the downloader functionality.
