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

The sample contains Excel 4.0 (XLM) macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro that utilizes dangerous functions like RUN. This indicates an attempt to execute arbitrary code upon opening the document. The presence of an embedded URL suggests the macro's purpose is to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Docusign0521-9864805-0' further supports this downloader functionality.

  • Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN
