MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it is a Qbot variant designed to act as a dropper. The detection name implies it likely downloads and executes a secondary payload, a common Qbot behavior. The file type and heuristic firing indicate a malicious macro-enabled Excel document is the likely delivery mechanism.
