i suspect it was submitted as proof of concept by the writer...lots of the most interesting stuff i see on av vendors sites is this kind of thing...(i've pretty much stopped posting word macro and outlook exlpoits...unless they're in very high circulation...) this was obviously the work of some really smart coder...no kiddie work here...i could be wrong but it was probably sent in just to say hey look what i did...it's non destructive...and not in the wild...

of course...it'll probably get shared with close friends...one of which will give it to the wrong person...who will modify it...add a destructive paylod...and off we go...
