MITRE ATT&CK

The critical ClamAV heuristic and the presence of VBA macros strongly indicate malicious intent. The VBA script concatenates strings to form a URL, which is then used to execute a payload via the Shell function. This suggests the document is a dropper designed to download and run a second-stage malicious file.
