MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the presence of LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress APIs, suggesting the macro attempts to load and execute a payload. The large slack space in the OLE structure is also indicative of obfuscation techniques often used to hide malicious code. No specific family could be identified.
Heuristics 5
-
Reference to LoadLibrary API high SC_STR_LOADLIBRARYReference to LoadLibrary API
-
Reference to GetProcAddress API high SC_STR_GETPROCADDRESSReference to GetProcAddress API
-
OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALYOLE file is 61,767 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,704 bytes — 40,063 bytes (65%) 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).
-
NOP-equivalent sled detected medium SC_NOP_EQUIV_SLEDLong run of 0x61 bytes
-
VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROSDocument contains VBA macro code
