MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The presence of Workbook_Open, Auto_Open, and Auto_Close macros, along with a critical heuristic for URLDownloadToFile, strongly indicates that this Excel file is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The embedded URLs are the most likely sources for this payload. The ClamAV detection as Xls.Malware.Valyria-10029771-0 further supports the malicious nature of the file.
