The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it is a Qbot variant designed to drop a secondary payload. The detection name implies macro-based execution, which is a common delivery method for Qbot. The file's nature as an Excel document further supports this, as these are frequently used for social engineering to enable macros.
