MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.Nori-1. Static analysis detected a VBA macro, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The macro source is 8080 bytes, indicating a potentially complex payload. No specific IOCs were extracted, but the presence of the AutoOpen macro strongly suggests an attempt to run arbitrary code.
