MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains embedded Excel 4.0 macros, indicated by the OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN and OLE_XLM_DANGEROUS_FN heuristics. The SC_STR_SHELLEXEC heuristic suggests the macros attempt to execute external commands. The embedded URL is likely used to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
