MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, including an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' suggests a downloader functionality. While the provided VBA script primarily manipulates sheet visibility and shape visibility, the presence of Auto_Open and the downloader heuristic indicate a high likelihood of malicious intent, possibly to download and execute a secondary payload.
