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

The file contains a malicious VBA macro, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The document body is crafted to appear as an academic assignment about Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", likely to trick the user into enabling macros. The presence of ClamAV detections further confirms its malicious nature. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted from the macro itself.
