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 code upon opening. The macro attempts to overwrite itself and potentially download a secondary payload, indicated by the 'APMPKILL' strings and the general behavior of Document_Open macros. The document body is in Chinese and appears to be a meeting notice, suggesting a lure unrelated to the malicious payload.
