MITRE ATT&CK
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The file is an OLE Excel spreadsheet with a high slack space anomaly, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. The presence of an x86 GetPC stub heuristic firing suggests the potential for code execution. While no specific VBA or script content was extracted, the combination of these indicators points to a malicious document likely designed to execute a payload.

Heuristics 2

  • x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EDI) high SC_GETPC_CALL
    x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EDI)
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 108,426 bytes but its declared streams total only 24,565 bytes — 83,861 bytes (77%) 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).
