MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering Workbook_Open and Auto_Open events, indicating a malicious intent to execute code upon opening. ClamAV detection as 'Xls.Trojan.Divi-2' further confirms its malicious nature. The presence of these auto-executing macros suggests the primary goal is to download and execute a second-stage payload.
