The sample contains an embedded executable file, identified as a critical finding. Furthermore, a high-severity heuristic indicates the document attempts to lure the user into executing commands via the clipboard. This suggests a malicious document designed to deliver a secondary payload, likely the embedded executable, through social engineering.

    MZ/PE header found inside document — possible embedded executable
  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
