This audit event looks for the transfer of a compound document file (such as PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and other OLE programs) that appears to embed a SWF animation file. Note: although, in certain environments, this type of file may be regarded as suspicious, it is not inherently a malicious condition as the embedding of such files is part of the design of such document formats.

Unauthorized Access Attempt
Adobe Flash Player, as bundled in multiple products, could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a vulnerability in the Flash Player authplay.dll component. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted Flash (.swf) file embedded in a Microsoft Excel (.xls) file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
