MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains Excel 4.0 macros, indicated by the OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN and OLE_XLM_DANGEROUS_FN heuristics. The SC_STR_SHELLEXEC firing suggests the macro attempts to execute external commands. The embedded URL, ikkon.pk/ds/161120.gif, is likely used to download a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as a downloader.
