MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file contains VBA macros, including an Auto_Open subroutine, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The script references the URLDownloadToFile API, indicating its intent to download a payload from one of the embedded URLs. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' further supports this downloader functionality. The script attempts to manipulate sheet visibility and cell content, likely as part of its execution or obfuscation process.
