MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting a Qbot family dropper. The nature of such droppers is to trick users into enabling macros to download and execute further stages of the malware. No VBA or scripts were explicitly extracted, but the heuristic firing indicates a malicious macro-based execution flow.
