MITRE ATT&CK
T1547.001 Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros. The Auto_Open macro is designed to copy the workbook to the Excel startup folder as 'mypersonnel.xls', establishing persistence. The Auto_Close macro attempts to convert the file to an older .xls format and delete the .xlsx version. The ClamAV detection and the presence of Auto_Open/Auto_Close macros strongly indicate malicious intent, likely for persistence or further payload delivery.
