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

The file is detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Downloader.Sload-6827538-0, indicating it belongs to the Sload family. A legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker (AutoOpen) was found, suggesting an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening. Although VBA macros could not be extracted, the presence of the auto-exec marker and the ClamAV detection strongly imply a downloader functionality.
