MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open macro that utilizes WScript.Shell to execute commands. This indicates the document is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, likely from the embedded 'macros.bas' file. The ClamAV detection name 'Win.Dropper.Agent-34641' further supports this assessment.
