MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is a Microsoft Word document that triggers a critical heuristic for CVE-2006-6456, indicating exploitation of a malformed table SPRM vulnerability. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution on the client machine. No document body or script content was available for further analysis.

Heuristics 2

  • CVE-2006-6456 — Microsoft Word malformed table SPRM critical CVE exact CVE_2006_6456
    WordDocument 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.
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 178,688 bytes but its declared streams total only 94,801 bytes — 83,887 bytes (47%) live in unallocated sector slack. This is the canonical hiding place for pre-macro-era Office exploit payloads (XOR-encoded shellcode reached via a parser pointer-corruption bug in the document structure).
