The sample is a Microsoft Office document containing an embedded PE executable. The presence of the ShellExecute API reference and the embedded executable strongly suggests that the document is designed to drop and execute a malicious payload. The document body discusses technical specifications of electrical steel, which is likely a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 2

  • Embedded PE executable critical OLE_EMBEDDED_EXE
    MZ/PE header found inside document — possible embedded executable
  • Reference to ShellExecute API high SC_STR_SHELLEXEC
