MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1218 Signed Binary Proxy Execution

The file is an XLS document containing 1818 bytes of VBA macros. A critical ClamAV heuristic identified it as Xls.Malware.Valyria-10012971-0. The presence of a GetObject call within the macros suggests an attempt to load and execute external code, a common technique for malware delivery. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted, but the macro content itself is the primary indicator of malicious activity.
