MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The critical ClamAV heuristic identifies this file as Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu, strongly suggesting Qbot family involvement. The file is an Excel document, a common delivery vector for macro-enabled malware. The primary attack pattern involves tricking the user into enabling macros, which would then likely execute a dropper function to download and run a secondary payload.
