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

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing a large VBA macro. The presence of Workbook_Open and Auto_Open macros indicates that malicious code is designed to execute automatically when the file is opened. While no specific payload URLs or commands were extracted, the macro itself is the primary indicator of malicious activity, likely serving as a downloader or initial execution vector.
