T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code automatically. The presence of CreateProcess API references and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent. The extracted 'macros.bas' file is the primary artifact associated with the malicious behavior, likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload.
