The file contains Excel 4.0 macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro that utilizes dangerous functions like RUN. This macro is designed to execute a secondary payload, likely a downloader, by referencing an embedded URL. The presence of ShellExecute API calls further supports the execution of external code. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign0521-9864805-0' suggests a document-based downloader targeting users with a fake DocuSign lure.
