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

The presence of Workbook_Open and Auto_Open macros, along with a critical heuristic firing for URLDownloadToFile API, indicates that the Excel file is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The macros likely download and execute a second-stage payload from one of the embedded URLs, which are currently untrusted. The ClamAV detection further supports the malicious nature of the file.
