MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The document body provides seemingly legitimate instructions for abstract submission, acting as a lure to trick the user into enabling macros. The presence of a Document_Open macro suggests an attempt to automatically run malicious code, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload, as indicated by the ClamAV detection of 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-10'.
