MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample contains an embedded OLE object with indicators of a dropped executable payload, strongly suggesting exploitation of a vulnerability like CVE-2026-21514. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature as a dropper for phishing lures. The embedded OLE object and its native payload are the primary IOCs.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Dropper.Autoit-6667050-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Dropper.Autoit-6667050-0
  • 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
  • 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.
