MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is an OLE document with a high slack anomaly, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. A heuristic firing for CreateProcess API suggests the document attempts to launch an external process. No document body or script content was available for further analysis, limiting the ability to determine the specific payload or family.

  • Reference to CreateProcess API high SC_STR_CREATEPROCESS
    Reference to CreateProcess API
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 58,528 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 37,377 bytes (64%) 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).
