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

The presence of Excel 4.0 macros, specifically an Auto_Open function utilizing dangerous APIs like RUN, strongly suggests malicious intent. The ShellExecute API reference further indicates the likely execution of a downloaded payload from the embedded URL. The ClamAV detection as Doc.Downloader.Docusign0521-9864805-0 supports this analysis.

    Reference to ShellExecute API
  • XLM Auto_Open with dangerous formula APIs high OLE_XLM_DANGEROUS_FN
    Excel 4.0 macro sheet contains an Auto_Open / Auto_Close entry and dangerous XLM formula APIs that can invoke programs, write files, or transfer control without VBA.
  • Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
