MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.002 Spearphishing with Other

The sample is an Excel spreadsheet identified as malicious due to the presence of VBA macros. The Workbook_Open macro indicates that the malicious code will execute automatically upon opening the file. While no specific malicious URLs or scripts were extracted, the presence of the Workbook_Open macro strongly suggests an attempt to download and execute a secondary payload or perform other malicious actions. The document body contains what appears to be a timesheet or project tracking template, likely used as a lure.
