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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The document body, though in Swahili, appears to advertise a training program, likely serving as a lure to encourage users to enable macros. No specific malware family could be identified, but the presence of an AutoOpen macro strongly suggests malicious intent for arbitrary code execution.
