MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV detections indicate it is a known malicious document, identified as Doc.Trojan.Thus-8. The document body presents a seemingly legitimate application process for banner usage, designed to lure the user into enabling macros, which would then likely trigger the execution of the embedded malicious code.
