MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

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 primary attack pattern involves luring the user into opening a malicious Excel file, which then likely executes a payload to download and run further malware. No document body or scripts were extracted, but the heuristic detection is highly indicative of Qbot's typical behavior.
