The critical OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN_DEFINEDNAME heuristic indicates the presence of an Excel 4.0 Auto_Open macro. The SE_ENABLE_LURE heuristic suggests the document prompts the user to enable macros. The extracted URLs and embedded commands like 'CALL', 'RUN', 'DOWNLOADFILE', and 'REGISTER("Server")' strongly suggest the macro's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload from one of the provided URLs.
