MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified by ClamAV as Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0, strongly suggesting a Qbot family infection. The Excel format indicates a likely phishing lure to enable macros. Enabling macros would then execute embedded VBA code to download and run a secondary payload, consistent with Qbot's typical behavior.
