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

The sample is an OOXML document containing a VBA project with an AutoOpen macro, indicating it is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. ClamAV detections confirm its malicious nature. The VBA code appears to use Windows API calls for process manipulation, suggesting it's a downloader or dropper for a second-stage payload.
