MITRE ATT&CK

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering AutoOpen and Auto_Close events. ClamAV detections indicate it is a known trojan. The document body presents a plausible school calendar to deceive the user into opening it, while the embedded macros are likely responsible for the malicious payload execution.
