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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The document body discusses AP Chemistry exam formats, suggesting a lure to encourage users to enable macros. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' further confirms its malicious nature. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted from the macros themselves.
