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

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, including an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' suggests a downloader functionality. Although the provided VBA script primarily manipulates shape visibility and sheet protection, the presence of Auto_Open and the downloader heuristic indicate a malicious intent, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.
