The ClamAV heuristic explicitly identifies this file as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it is a Qbot variant designed to drop a secondary payload. The file's nature as an Office document with a malicious verdict implies it relies on social engineering to trick the user into enabling macros, which would then initiate the download and execution of the Qbot malware. The SHA256 hash is included as a primary indicator.
