MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The file was detected by ClamAV as 'Doc.Dropper.EmotetIOS-9402070-0', a signature strongly associated with the Emotet malware family. Although the VBA project contains no executable statements, the detection indicates the file's structure or embedded components are indicative of Emotet's dropper functionality. This suggests the document is designed to download and execute a secondary payload.
