MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File T1071.001 Web Protocols

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, specifically triggering Workbook_Open and Auto_Open events. The presence of the SC_STR_URLDOWNLOAD heuristic indicates the macro attempts to download a file from a URL. The embedded URLs are likely used for this purpose. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature. The macro's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload from one of the provided URLs.
