T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications
T1204.002 Malicious File
The file contains Excel 4.0 macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro, which is a known technique for executing malicious code upon opening the spreadsheet. The heuristic firings indicate the use of ShellExecute and dangerous XLM functions, suggesting the macro's intent is to download and execute a payload. The embedded URL likely points to this payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader' further supports this assessment.
