The file contains Excel 4.0 macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro that utilizes dangerous functions like RUN. This indicates the macro is designed to execute arbitrary code. The presence of an embedded URL suggests a downloader functionality, likely to fetch and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign0521-9864805-0' further supports this, pointing to a document downloader.

  • Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN
