The file is an Excel document identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it functions as a dropper for the Qbot banking trojan. The document likely exploits social engineering to trick users into enabling macros, which would then execute malicious code to download and run further stages of the infection. The presence of Qbot indicators points towards a phishing or spearphishing attachment attack vector.
