T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is an Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro-enabled spreadsheet. It contains an Auto_Open macro that is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. The macro attempts to download a payload from one of two provided URLs, likely to execute a second-stage attack. The document body also contains text that appears to be part of the download URL, further supporting this conclusion.

-
