MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing a VBA macro. The presence of an AutoOpen macro and a critical Shell() call indicates that the document is designed to execute arbitrary commands upon opening. This behavior is consistent with a dropper malware that downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Dropper.Generic-9823797-0' further supports this assessment. No specific family could be identified.
