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

The critical ClamAV detection and high-severity heuristics for OLE_VBA_MACROS and OLE_VBA_AUTO indicate that this XLSX file contains malicious VBA macros. The Auto_Open macro suggests immediate execution upon opening. While the provided VBA script is truncated, the presence of embedded URLs strongly suggests a downloader pattern. The script likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from one of the listed IP addresses.
