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

The file contains a VBA macro with an AutoOpen function that utilizes Shell() and CreateObject() calls, indicating it is designed to execute arbitrary code. ClamAV detection confirms this as a downloader. The macro likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'Doc.Downloader' classification. No specific family could be identified, but the behavior is consistent with a macro-based downloader.
