MITRE ATT&CK

The critical heuristic firing indicates detection as a Qbot dropper, a known banking trojan. The file is an Excel spreadsheet, a common delivery mechanism for macro-based malware. The primary function is likely to trick the user into enabling macros, which would then execute malicious code to download and run a secondary payload, consistent with Qbot's typical behavior.
