MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications 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 heuristic and the presence of 'ShellExec' in the document body suggest that the macro attempts to execute an external command. This command likely uses the embedded URL to download and execute a secondary payload, as suggested by the CLAMAV_DETECTION rule. The confidence is slightly reduced due to the lack of direct script content for definitive analysis.
