MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a malicious OOXML document containing a VBA macro. The 'AutoOpen' macro and 'Shell()' call indicate that the macro is designed to execute automatically and run external commands. ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0' strongly suggests the Ursnif family, known for its downloader capabilities. The primary function of the embedded script is to download and execute a second-stage payload.
