MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for malicious macro execution. The document body presents a price list for mobile phones, acting as a lure to trick the user into enabling macros. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Macro.Laroux-5893719-0' further confirms its malicious nature. The primary intent appears to be the execution of the embedded macro, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.
