MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as a legacy Excel 5 macro virus (Laroux) by multiple heuristics. The presence of macro markers like 'auto_open' and 'OnSheetActivate' strongly suggests that malicious VBA code is embedded within the workbook. This code is likely designed to execute automatically, leading to further malicious activity.
