The ClamAV heuristic firing, 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly indicates that this Excel file is a dropper for the Qbot malware family. The file's purpose is to trick the user into enabling macros, which would then likely execute a secondary payload. No document body or scripts were extracted, but the heuristic is sufficient for attribution.
