MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The presence of a Shell() call and CreateObject call within the VBA code indicates an attempt to execute arbitrary commands or launch external processes. ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Dropper.IceID1020-9776828-0' further confirms its malicious nature. The primary function appears to be dropping and executing a second-stage payload.
