MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1071.001 Web Protocols

The file is a macro-enabled Excel spreadsheet containing Workbook_Open and Auto_Open macros, indicating it's designed to execute code upon opening. The presence of the SC_STR_URLDOWNLOAD heuristic and embedded URLs strongly suggests the macro attempts to download and execute a secondary payload from one of the listed IP addresses. The ClamAV detection as 'Xls.Malware.Valyria-10029771-0' further supports its malicious nature.
