MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a malicious OOXML document containing a Document_Open macro. This macro utilizes WScript.Shell and CreateObject to execute commands, strongly indicating it's designed to download and run a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as a downloader.
