T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is an Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro-enabled spreadsheet. It contains an Auto_Open macro that uses dangerous formula APIs, specifically the RUN function, to download a file from 'http://foundation.shanto-mariamfoundation.org/24.gif' and save it as 'C:\ProgramData\Triolexplorer\24.gif.exe'. The document body presents a DocuSign lure to encourage macro execution.
