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

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The macro attempts to copy itself into the Normal template, indicating an attempt at persistence or further infection. The document body, though in Chinese, appears to be a financial authorization form, suggesting a lure to trick the user into opening and enabling macros.
