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

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, including an Auto_Open subroutine, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon file opening. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign112100-9908075-0' strongly suggests a downloader functionality. The VBA code itself is heavily obfuscated and truncated, making it difficult to determine the exact payload or destination, but the presence of Auto_Open and the downloader signature indicate a high likelihood of it downloading and executing a second-stage payload.
