MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting a Qbot family infection. The presence of macro-related heuristics indicates it likely uses VBA to download and execute a secondary payload, a common tactic for Qbot droppers. This functionality aligns with spearphishing attachment and command scripting interpreter techniques.
