MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits characteristics of a legacy macro virus, specifically identified by the "RSN MACRO VIRUS" marker and ClamAV detection as Win.Trojan.Gsis-1. The document body explicitly mentions "RSN MACRO VIRUS Goat file" and contains VBA macro-related elements like "AutoOpen", indicating the presence of malicious macro code designed to execute automatically. The file's age and detection signature suggest it is an old, but still recognized, piece of malware.
