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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with multiple detections, including 'Doc.Trojan.VMPCK1-16' and 'Doc.Trojan.Ozwer-1' on an extracted artifact. The presence of AutoOpen and Auto_Close VBA macros indicates that malicious code is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened or closed. The document body's content appears to be a lure, presenting statistical analysis information to mask the malicious intent of the embedded macros.
