T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The sample exhibits multiple critical OLE-related heuristic firings, including a legacy WordBasic AutoOpen macro marker and a detection by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Nuclear-6. The embedded OLE artifact suggests it's designed to be attached to a spearphishing email, and the exploitation of legacy vulnerabilities points to client execution.
Heuristics 5
-
ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Nuclear-6 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Nuclear-6
-
Embedded Office document has suspicious static findings critical EMBEDDED_OFFICE_CHILD_STATIC_TRIAGEA CFB/OLE Office document was found inside another file type and its carved contents matched Office exploit or payload heuristics. This catches wrapped exploit documents where the top-level file routes to a PE, archive, or generic scanner instead of Office.
-
OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALYOLE file is 23,296 bytes but its declared streams total only 0 bytes — 23,296 bytes (100%) 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).
-
Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXECOLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
-
CFB header with no readable streams medium OLE_PARSE_EMPTY_STREAMSThe file begins with a valid OLE2/CFB header but exposes no directory streams. A non-empty compound document with an unreadable directory is anomalous — it is seen with truncated/corrupt files and, more importantly, with content deliberately shifted off byte boundaries to defeat parsers while the host application still recovers the object.
