MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro that utilizes the Shell() function. This indicates the document is designed to execute arbitrary commands upon opening. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Dropper.IceID1020-9776828-0' further confirms its malicious nature as a dropper. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging VBA to initiate a secondary stage payload.
