MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a macro-enabled Excel spreadsheet containing Auto_Open and Auto_Close macros, indicating it is designed to execute code upon opening. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' strongly suggests a downloader functionality. The VBA code itself appears to be primarily for UI manipulation, but the presence of Auto_Open and the ClamAV signature point to malicious intent, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.
