The file contains VBA macros, indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic. The OLE_VBA_GETOBJ heuristic suggests the macros are attempting to use the GetObject function, which can be abused to execute arbitrary code. The obfuscated nature of the extracted DOC BODY content, combined with the presence of VBA macros, strongly suggests the intent is to download and execute a secondary payload. Without further analysis of the macro code itself, the specific family remains unknown.
