MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The sample is an OLE document with a significant amount of slack space, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded content. High-severity heuristics indicate suspicious cmd.exe invocation and PEB access, suggesting an attempt to execute commands and potentially evade detection. The embedded URLs, although some are confirmed benign, point to a suspicious domain, which could be used for payload delivery.

Heuristics 4

  • PEB access via FS segment (x86) high SC_PEB_ACCESS
    PEB access via FS segment (x86)
  • Suspicious cmd.exe invocation with execution flag high SC_STR_CMD
    Suspicious cmd.exe invocation with execution flag
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 114,750 bytes but its declared streams total only 24,565 bytes — 90,185 bytes (79%) 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).
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
