MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is a malicious OLE document that contains raw shellcode. Heuristics indicate PEB access and a large slack space anomaly, suggesting an attempt to hide or obfuscate malicious code. The document likely exploits a client-side vulnerability to achieve arbitrary code execution.

Heuristics 3

  • PEB access via FS segment (x86) high SC_PEB_ACCESS
    PEB access via FS segment (x86)
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 103,328 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 82,177 bytes (80%) live in unallocated sector slack. This is the canonical hiding place for pre-macro-era Office exploit payloads (XOR-encoded shellcode reached via a parser pointer-corruption bug in the document structure).
  • OLE file contains raw shellcode-like resolver payload high OLE_RAW_SHELLCODE_PAYLOAD
    Malformed or legacy OLE file contains raw PEB/API-resolver shellcode bytes at the file level, including loader-walk instructions and a nearby payload marker. This indicates an exploit payload carrier but does not identify a specific parser CVE.
