MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, including Auto_Open and Auto_Close, which are commonly used to initiate malicious actions upon opening or closing the document. The presence of the URLDownloadToFile API call and embedded URLs strongly suggests that the macros are designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from the listed IP addresses. The ClamAV signature also indicates a downloader functionality.
