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

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, including an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The heuristic SC_STR_URLDOWNLOAD indicates the use of an API to download content from a URL. The embedded URLs are likely used to fetch and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader' further supports this analysis.
