MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The file is a Microsoft Word document that leverages an OLE object to exploit CVE-2026-21514, a known vulnerability. Heuristics indicate the use of WinExec, VirtualAlloc, and LoadLibrary APIs, suggesting the execution of malicious code. ClamAV detection confirms this as Doc.Trojan.Beast-11, a known malware. The embedded URL is likely part of the delivery or command and control infrastructure.

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.
  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Beast-11 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Beast-11
  • 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 WinExec API high SC_STR_WINEXEC
    Reference to WinExec API
  • Reference to LoadLibrary API high SC_STR_LOADLIBRARY
    Reference to LoadLibrary API
  • Reference to VirtualAlloc API medium SC_STR_VIRTUALALLOC
    Reference to VirtualAlloc API
  • 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.
