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

The OOXML document contains an embedded OLE object with indicators for exploitation, specifically flagged as a likely CVE-2026-21514 shape. This embedded object is identified by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Remotemanipulator, suggesting it's designed to execute a malicious payload. The document body's content is a lure for a website development task, which is likely a pretext for delivering the malicious payload.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Remotemanipulator-9849652-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Remotemanipulator-9849652-0
  • 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 info 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.
