MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: Malicious Code

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it is a Qbot variant designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The file's nature as an Excel document further supports a phishing or social engineering attack vector to trick users into enabling macros or executing the dropped content. No document body or scripts were extracted, but the ClamAV signature is highly indicative of Qbot's typical dropper functionality.
