MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

The file is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros. The presence of an AutoOpen macro and CreateObject calls indicates that the macros are designed to execute automatically and likely perform actions such as downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Dropper.Generic' further supports this assessment. No specific family could be identified, but the behavior is consistent with a dropper.
