MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, including an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' strongly suggests a downloader functionality. While the provided VBA code primarily manipulates sheet visibility and shape display, the presence of Auto_Open and the ClamAV signature indicate a high likelihood of malicious intent, possibly to download and execute a secondary payload. The SHA256 hash is included as a primary IOC.
