MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, with high-severity heuristics indicating the presence of Auto_Open and Auto_Close macros. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' strongly suggests a downloader functionality. The Auto_Open macro is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened, which is a common technique for initiating the download and execution of further malicious content. The script itself appears to be truncated, preventing a more detailed analysis of its specific actions.
