MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains Excel 4.0 macros, indicated by the OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN and OLE_XLM_DANGEROUS_FN heuristics. The SC_STR_SHELLEXEC firing suggests the macro uses ShellExecute to run external commands. The embedded URL points to a suspicious GIF file, which is likely a lure or a download location for a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as a downloader.
