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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV detections indicate it is a known trojan. The document body presents itself as an administrative form, suggesting a social engineering lure to encourage macro execution. No specific scripts were extracted for further analysis, but the presence of macros and the ClamAV detections strongly suggest a malicious intent to download and execute a secondary payload.
