MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The critical ClamAV detection and high-severity heuristics for OLE_VBA_MACROS and OLE_VBA_AUTO indicate the presence of malicious VBA code designed to execute automatically upon opening the Excel file. The VBA script likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from one of the embedded URLs. The Auto_Open and Auto_Close macros suggest an attempt to control execution flow and potentially establish persistence or perform cleanup actions.
