MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File Execution

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it functions as a dropper for the Qbot banking trojan. While no specific execution scripts or URLs were extracted, the heuristic firing indicates a high likelihood of malicious payload delivery. The document's metadata shows it was created in 2006, which is unusually old for modern Qbot variants, but the detection name is specific.
