MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. The presence of a VirtualProtect API reference suggests the macro is designed to execute code. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted, but the attack pattern is clear: a malicious macro embedded within a Word document.
