MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The macro attempts to disable virus protection and modify document properties, suggesting an intent to evade detection and potentially download or execute further payloads. The presence of ClamAV detections further supports its malicious nature.
