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

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing a large VBA macro, specifically triggered by the Workbook_Open event. This indicates an attempt to execute malicious code automatically when the document is opened. While the document body contains what appears to be product listings, the presence and type of macro strongly suggest a malicious intent, likely for delivering a secondary payload or performing other harmful actions. No specific family could be identified due to the lack of further script analysis.
