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

The file contains VBA macros, including AutoOpen and Auto_Close, which are commonly used to execute malicious code upon opening or closing a document. The document body, while appearing to be about a conference and local information, is likely a lure to entice the user to enable macros. ClamAV detections indicate this is a known malicious document type. No specific second-stage payload or network indicators were extracted, limiting further analysis.
