MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it functions as a dropper for the Qbot malware family. The presence of macro-related heuristics indicates it likely uses embedded VBA to execute a malicious payload, a common tactic for Qbot distribution. This points to a spearphishing attachment attack pattern.
