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

The sample is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, including an Auto_Open subroutine, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' strongly suggests a downloader functionality. The embedded URLs are likely used to fetch and execute a secondary payload. No specific family could be identified, but the behavior points to a downloader.
