MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file contains VBA macros, specifically triggering on Workbook_Open, which is a common technique for initial execution. The macro references the URLDownloadToFile API, indicating it is designed to download a secondary payload from one of the embedded URLs. The ClamAV detection and heuristic firings further support its malicious nature. The script's primary intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload from the provided URLs.
