MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The critical heuristic OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD indicates the script attempts to download a payload from a URL. ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature. The primary intent appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'Doc.Downloader' ClamAV signature.
