MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing an embedded PE executable, identified by ClamAV as Doc.Trojan.Beast-11. The document body discusses a legal agreement, likely a lure to disguise the malicious embedded content. The presence of WinExec, VirtualAlloc, and LoadLibrary API references, along with the embedded executable and Ole10Native structure, strongly suggests the document is designed to execute a 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: 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
