MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The presence of Auto_Open and Auto_Close macros, along with a critical heuristic firing for URLDownloadToFile, indicates that this Excel file is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The VBA script itself appears to be primarily for UI manipulation within Excel, but the underlying macro functionality is malicious. The embedded URLs are the most likely sources for the second-stage payload.
