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

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The document body presents a fake grade sheet, suggesting a social engineering lure to trick the user into enabling macros. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' further confirms its malicious nature. The primary intent appears to be the execution of a second-stage payload, although the specific mechanism is not detailed in the provided evidence.
