T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The sample is a malicious Microsoft Word document exploiting CVE-2006-6456, a vulnerability related to malformed table SPRMs. This exploit allows for arbitrary code execution, likely to download and run a secondary payload. The presence of CreateProcess API references and an appended executable-looking payload further supports this. No specific family could be identified.
Heuristics 4
-
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.

-
OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALYOLE file is 179,200 bytes but its declared streams total only 94,801 bytes — 84,399 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).
-
OLE file has appended executable-looking payload bytes high OLE_APPENDED_PAYLOADOLE compound file contains a large high-entropy region beyond the declared major streams and that region includes shellcode, PE, or loader API markers. This is a payload-carrier signal, not a specific CVE attribution by itself.
