MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 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 macros appear to be designed to manipulate the spreadsheet's appearance and potentially download additional content from the provided URLs. The presence of Auto_Open and Auto_Close macros suggests an attempt to execute code during the document's lifecycle, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload from one of the embedded URLs.
