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

The file contains Excel 4.0 macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro that utilizes dangerous functions like RUN and ShellExecute. This indicates an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The presence of an embedded URL suggests the macro is intended to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader' further supports this conclusion.
