MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File Execution 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 banking trojan. The Excel format and the dropper behavior indicate a likely attack pattern involving social engineering to trick the user into opening the document and enabling macros, which would then initiate the payload download and execution.
