MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Excel spreadsheet identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it is a Qbot variant. The primary attack vector is likely social engineering to convince the user to enable macros, which would then trigger the execution of the malicious payload. No scripts or document body were extracted, but the ClamAV detection is highly indicative of Qbot's typical dropper functionality.
