MITRE ATT&CK
T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The file is identified as a malicious OLE document. Static analysis detected a significant amount of slack space (93%) and XOR-encoded strings with a key of 0x95, indicating an attempt to obfuscate malicious content. No specific payload or execution method was directly identified from the provided evidence.

Heuristics 3

  • XOR-encoded strings (key 0x95) critical SC_XOR_ENCODED
    Found 2 Windows library/API name(s) XOR-encoded with single-byte key 0x95: 'LoadLibraryA', 'GetProcAddress'
  • NOP sled detected high SC_NOP_SLED
    Found 20+ consecutive 0x90 bytes
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 223,744 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 207,258 bytes (93%) 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).
