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

The file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Downloader.IcedID-87f88705f807f878-9951567-0, indicating the IcedID family. Static analysis revealed the presence of VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common execution vector for this family. The macro likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The document body was truncated and did not provide further context on the lure.
