MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The critical ClamAV detection of 'Xls.Trojan.Laroux-22' and the presence of an Auto_Open VBA macro strongly indicate malicious intent. The Auto_Open macro is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload. The file's metadata indicates it is an OLE file created by Microsoft Excel.
