MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1140 Deobfuscate or Obfuscate

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, indicated by the 'OOXML_VBA' and 'OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN' heuristics. The 'OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ' heuristic suggests the macro attempts to create objects, likely for malicious purposes. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.BlueWord12213-9918951-0' strongly suggests a downloader functionality. The presence of an 'AutoOpen' macro implies that the malicious code executes automatically when the document is opened, a common technique for initial access and payload delivery.
