MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV signatures indicate this is a known malicious document type (Doc.Trojan.Thus-8). No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted, but the presence of the Document_Open macro strongly suggests an attempt to run malicious code.
