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

The sample contains Excel 4.0 (XLM) macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro that uses dangerous functions like RUN. The document body presents a fake DocuSign interface, suggesting a phishing or social engineering lure. The embedded URL likely points to a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign0521-9864805-0' further supports the downloader and DocuSign lure characteristics.
