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

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' strongly suggests malicious intent. The document body, disguised as a school event announcement, is a social engineering lure to trick users into enabling macros. The primary attack vector is likely macro execution to download and run a secondary payload.
