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

The file is an OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature. Although no specific payload or download URL was extracted, the presence of the Document_Open macro strongly suggests an intent to execute arbitrary code, likely for downloading and running a secondary stage. The document body content appears to be a job description, which is likely a lure to trick the user into enabling macros.
