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

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, including an Auto_Open subroutine, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The macros reference the URLDownloadToFile API, indicating an intent to download and execute a second-stage payload from one of the embedded URLs. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' further supports this downloader functionality.
