MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro. The critical heuristic OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD indicates that the macro attempts to download a payload from a URL. ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as Doc.Downloader.GreenBox6-9139694-0. The primary attack pattern involves luring the user to enable macros to initiate the download and execution of a secondary malicious payload.
