The file is a Microsoft Word document containing an embedded PE executable. Heuristics indicate potential exploitation of CVE-2026-21514 via Ole10Native, and references to LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress suggest dynamic library loading, common in malware. The embedded executable itself was detected by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Trojan-410. The document body simply states 'EMBED Package', further indicating a lure to execute the embedded malicious payload.

Heuristics 7

  • OLE with Ole10Native — possible CVE-2026-21514 exploitation high CVE likely CVE_2026_21514
    Document contains a Word OLE object with Ole10Native plus executable, PE, or risky remote-link indicators. CVE-2026-21514 exploits OLE metadata validation; this stronger structure is treated as likely exploitation.
  • Embedded PE executable critical OLE_EMBEDDED_EXE
    MZ/PE header found inside document — possible embedded executable
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Trojan-410 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Trojan-410
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Reference to LoadLibrary API high SC_STR_LOADLIBRARY
    Reference to LoadLibrary API
  • Reference to GetProcAddress API high SC_STR_GETPROCADDRESS
    Reference to GetProcAddress API
  • 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.
