MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic 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 firing suggests that these macros are used to execute external commands. The embedded URL points to a suspicious GIF file, which is likely a lure or part of a download chain. The ClamAV detection further supports the malicious nature of the file, identifying it as a downloader.
