The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon document opening. The script attempts to copy itself to the Normal.dot template, indicating an effort to establish persistence. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' further supports its malicious nature.
