T1204 Malicious Link
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
The sample is a malicious Microsoft Word document exhibiting a high degree of slack space anomaly, indicative of obfuscation or embedded malicious content. A PEB access heuristic suggests attempts to evade detection. The document body contains VBA-like code that reconstructs a registry path for disabling items, likely to bypass security measures. The script's intent appears to be to download and execute a second-stage payload, though the exact download URL is not fully reconstructed from the provided snippet.
Heuristics 2
-
PEB access via FS segment (x86) high SC_PEB_ACCESSPEB access via FS segment (x86)
-
OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALYOLE file is 92,160 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 75,674 bytes (82%) 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).
