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

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV detected this as 'Doc.Macro.Laroux-5893719-0', indicating a known macro-based threat. The document body presents a work report template, likely intended to trick the user into enabling macros to view or complete the report, thereby triggering the malicious script. No specific family could be identified, but the execution flow is consistent with a macro-based downloader.
