MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious due to the presence of an embedded OLE object with indicators for exploitation, specifically referencing CVE-2026-21514. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature, flagging it as a phishing-related dropper. The embedded OLE object, packaged as a .lnk file, strongly suggests an attempt to execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 5

  • OOXML Ole10Native with payload/link indicators — possible CVE-2026-21514 high CVE likely CVE_2026_21514
    Office document contains embedded OLE (word/embeddings/oleObject1.bin) with Ole10Native plus executable, PE, or risky remote-link indicators. This is a likely CVE-2026-21514 exploitation shape.
  • ClamAV: Win.Phishing.Suspicious-6355520-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Phishing.Suspicious-6355520-3
  • Ole10Native package carries executable/script file type high OFFICE_PACKAGE_RISKY_FILE
    OLE Package displayName or fullPath ends in an executable or script-capable extension. Even without UI extension spoofing, embedding a runnable payload inside an Office document is a high-risk delivery pattern.
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
  • 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.
