MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, with both Auto_Open and Auto_Close subroutines present, indicating immediate execution upon opening. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' strongly suggests a downloader functionality. Although the VBA script itself appears to be primarily for UI manipulation, the presence of embedded URLs points to a downloader attempting to fetch and execute a secondary payload. The specific URLs extracted are the primary indicators of compromise.
