MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is a Microsoft Office document containing an embedded OLE object that is flagged as containing an executable payload. ClamAV detections indicate the packed payload is likely Win.Packed.Loki. This suggests the document is designed to exploit a vulnerability, likely CVE-2026-21514, to execute the embedded malware upon opening.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Dropper.Nanocore-10025433-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Dropper.Nanocore-10025433-0
  • Ole10Native package drops an auto-executable payload critical OFFICE_PACKAGE_RISKY_FILE
    OLE Package displayName or fullPath ends in a directly auto-executable extension (a runnable binary or a script the default shell host runs on double-click). Embedding such a payload inside an Office document has no benign authoring use — it is a malware-delivery dropper.
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
