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

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon document opening. The presence of CreateObject calls further suggests the execution of arbitrary code. ClamAV identified this as a generic dropper. The primary IOC is the file hash itself, as no external URLs were identified as malicious.
