The presence of OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY and references to WinExec and CreateProcess APIs strongly suggest the document is designed to execute arbitrary code. The NOP sled further indicates shellcode execution. The document body contains embedded object information, which is a common lure for exploiting Office vulnerabilities. No specific family is identifiable from the provided evidence.
Heuristics 4
-
NOP sled detected high SC_NOP_SLEDFound 20+ consecutive 0x90 bytes
-
Reference to WinExec API high SC_STR_WINEXECReference to WinExec API
-
Reference to CreateProcess API high SC_STR_CREATEPROCESSReference to CreateProcess API
-
OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALYOLE file is 110,552 bytes but its declared streams total only 31,351 bytes — 79,201 bytes (72%) 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).
