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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Downloader.835b97208387fc57-OOXML-9981517-0. Static analysis revealed the presence of VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro that utilizes the Shell() function. This indicates the document is designed to execute arbitrary commands, likely to download and run a secondary malicious payload. No specific malware family could be confidently identified.
