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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing malicious VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. The document body presents itself as a rental/credit application, which is a common lure for social engineering attacks. The presence of the Document_Open macro indicates that the malicious code will execute automatically upon opening the document, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-10' further confirms its malicious nature.
