The sample is an Office document containing an embedded PE executable. Heuristics indicate the use of Windows API functions such as CreateProcess, ShellExecute, VirtualAlloc, WriteProcessMemory, LoadLibrary, and GetProcAddress, which are commonly used by malware to execute payloads or inject code. The presence of an embedded executable strongly suggests a downloader or dropper functionality.
