MITRE ATT&CK

Static analysis identified the file as a malicious Excel spreadsheet. The ClamAV heuristic specifically names it as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it's a Qbot variant designed to drop and execute a secondary payload. No scripts or document body were extracted, but the heuristic is sufficient for attribution.
