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

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering a Document_Open macro. Heuristics indicate the use of CreateObject, a common technique for downloading and executing payloads. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader' further supports this. The primary intent appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload.
