MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is an Excel 4.0 macro-enabled spreadsheet (XLM) that contains an Auto_Open macro. This macro likely executes a dangerous function such as RUN, which is used to launch external executables. The embedded URL and the presence of a potential executable path in the document body suggest that the macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader' further supports this conclusion.
