MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. ClamAV detections indicate it is a Trojan. The document body is blank, suggesting the malicious functionality is entirely within the VBA code. No specific IOCs were extracted, but the presence of a Document_Open macro strongly suggests an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening the document.
