MITRE ATT&CK

Static analysis identified the file as a malicious Excel document. The ClamAV heuristic specifically flags it as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it belongs to the Qbot family and functions as a dropper. The primary attack pattern involves luring a user to open the malicious attachment, which then likely executes a secondary payload.
