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

The file contains VBA macros, including AutoOpen and Auto_Close functions, which are commonly used to execute malicious code upon document interaction. The presence of ClamAV detections (Doc.Trojan.Class-37 and Doc.Trojan.Class-1) strongly indicates malicious intent. The document body content appears to be a schedule for a conference, which is likely a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the file. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted from the macros themselves.

Heuristics 5
