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

The file is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering a Document_Open macro. This macro likely uses GetObject calls to execute arbitrary code, a common technique for downloading and running second-stage payloads. The presence of VBA macros and the auto-execution upon opening strongly suggest a malicious intent, likely for initial access via phishing.
