The sample is an Excel file containing Excel 4.0 (XLM) macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro, which is a known technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The macros are designed to bypass security by prompting the user to enable content. The extracted URLs are likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload, as indicated by the presence of commands like 'rundll32.exe' and 'regsvr32.exe' within the macro code.
