MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', indicating it functions as a dropper. While no specific VBA or script content was extracted, the detection name suggests it likely attempts to download and execute a secondary payload, a common tactic for Qbot-related malware. The file's nature as an Excel document strongly implies a phishing or social engineering vector to trick users into enabling macros.
