MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is a Microsoft Office document with a high-confidence detection for VBA macros, specifically triggering a Document_Open macro that uses CreateObject. This indicates an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening. The ClamAV detection explicitly names Emotet, a known banking trojan and downloader. The VBA code, while obfuscated, contains calls to CreateObject, a common technique for Emotet to launch its payload.
