MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it acts as a dropper for the Qbot banking trojan. The Excel format and the detection name indicate a likely phishing attack vector, where the document would prompt the user to enable macros to execute the malicious payload. No VBA or scripts were explicitly extracted, but the dropper functionality is implied by the heuristic.
