MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a malicious Microsoft Office document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the use of WScript.Shell and CreateObject, suggesting the macros are designed to execute commands. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.00536d-6923444-0' strongly suggests this document's purpose is to download and execute additional malware. The presence of the 'macros.bas' artifact further supports this. The embedded URL 'http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main' was confirmed benign and is not considered a malicious IOC.
