MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing an embedded OLE object with executable content, strongly indicating exploitation of CVE-2026-21514. ClamAV detections confirm the presence of a known trojan. The embedded OLE object is designed to drop and execute a payload, likely leading to further compromise.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.7535757-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.7535757-1
  • 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
  • External hyperlinks (1) low OOXML_EXTERNAL_HYPERLINKS
    Document contains 1 external hyperlink — clickable URLs are stored as external relationships. First target: http://www.lipsum.com/
  • 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.
