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

The file contains Excel 4.0 macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro that utilizes dangerous functions like RUN and ShellExecute. The embedded URL `http://new.odingrad.com/ds/151120.gif` is likely used to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of ShellExecute and the XLM macro strongly suggests a downloader functionality.
