The file contains Excel 4.0 macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro that utilizes dangerous functions like RUN. This macro is designed to execute ShellExecute, a common technique for downloading and running additional malicious content. The embedded URLs are likely part of this download mechanism. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign0521-9864805-0' further supports its role as a downloader.
