Malware Insights

The file is identified as a malicious OLE document with a high-risk score. Heuristics indicate the presence of the VirtualAlloc API, which is often used by malware to allocate memory for malicious code execution. The significant slack space anomaly in the OLE structure is also a strong indicator of malicious intent, potentially used to hide malicious content. No scripts were extracted from this sample, and the document body was unreadable.

Heuristics 3

  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 38,013 bytes but its declared streams total only 20,340 bytes — 17,673 bytes (46%) 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).
  • Reference to VirtualAlloc API medium SC_STR_VIRTUALALLOC
    Reference to VirtualAlloc API
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
