The sample is an Excel 4.0 spreadsheet containing an Auto_Open macro, indicated by the OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN and OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN_DEFINEDNAME heuristics. This macro uses the RUN function (risky-formula=3; RUN=0), which is a critical finding, to execute code. The SE_ENABLE_LURE heuristic suggests the document prompts the user to enable macros. The macro likely downloads a second-stage payload from the URL uzelkapi.com/de/getappsr.php, as indicated by the DOC BODY excerpt.
Heuristics 4
