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

The sample contains a VBA macro with an AutoOpen function, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon document opening. The heuristic 'OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD' specifically indicates the use of URLDownloadToFile, suggesting the macro's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload from a remote source. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.GreenBox5-9139204-0' further supports this downloader functionality. No specific family could be identified, but the behavior is consistent with a macro-based downloader.
