The document contains a VBA macro that utilizes `Shell()` to execute commands, including `cmd.exe`. This is a common technique employed by macro-based malware to download and execute payloads. The ClamAV detection confirms the presence of a known malicious pattern (Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0), further supporting this assessment. The document's structure and the presence of obfuscated code within the VBA macro suggest an attempt to evade detection.
