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

The file is an OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Model-2' further confirms its malicious nature. The document body presents a list of administrative procedures and approvals, likely intended to appear legitimate and encourage the user to enable macros to view the full content. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of AutoOpen macro suggests it executes malicious code upon opening.
