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

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering AutoOpen and Auto_Close events, indicating malicious intent. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature. The presence of the 'macros.bas' artifact suggests the execution of embedded VBA code, likely responsible for the malicious behavior. The document body, presented as a curriculum vitae, serves as a lure to trick the user into enabling macros.
