The sample is a malicious Microsoft Word document exploiting CVE-2006-6456, a vulnerability related to malformed table SPRM data. This exploit likely leads to arbitrary code execution. The presence of suspicious cmd.exe invocation and PEB access heuristics further supports malicious activity, suggesting the document attempts to run commands or evade detection.

-
CVE-2006-6456 — Microsoft Word malformed table SPRM critical CVE exact CVE_2006_6456WordDocument contains a malformed table border-color SPRM in the CVE-2006-6456 shape: a valid table-SPRM cluster is followed by an invalid high-byte 0xFF SPRM where Word expects a normal sprmTBrc*Cv record. Vulnerable Word 2000/2002/2003 parsers corrupt memory while handling this malformed data structure.
