MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Excel document flagged by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it acts as a dropper for Qbot malware. The document's purpose is likely to trick the user into enabling macros, which would then initiate the download and execution of a malicious payload. No VBA scripts or document body text were extracted, but the ClamAV detection is highly indicative of Qbot's typical delivery mechanism.
