MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a Microsoft Office document containing a VBA macro. The 'Document_Open' macro heuristic indicates that the macro is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. The presence of a 'CreateObject' call and a large, encoded blob within the macro suggests it is likely a downloader for a second-stage payload. No specific family could be identified, but the execution method is clear.
