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

The file contains VBA macros, including Auto_Open and Auto_Close, which are commonly used to initiate malicious actions upon opening or closing the document. A critical heuristic firing indicates the use of URLDownloadToFile API, suggesting the macro attempts to download a payload from one of the embedded URLs. The ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Downloader' further supports this. No document body text was available for analysis, but the presence of macros and download functionality points to a downloader malware.
