The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it is a Qbot variant designed to act as a dropper. While no VBA or scripts were explicitly extracted, the detection name implies the Excel file contains malicious macros or embedded objects intended to download and execute a secondary payload, a common Qbot delivery technique.
