MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' further indicates malicious intent. No specific IOCs were extracted, but the presence of the Document_Open macro strongly suggests an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening the document.
