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

The file contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The critical heuristic firing for URLDownloadToFile in VBA confirms that the macro attempts to download content from a URL. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious classification. The primary attack pattern involves luring the user to open the document, triggering the VBA macro to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 6
