MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with a signature indicating it is a phishing lure dropper. The OLE slack anomaly suggests the presence of hidden or obfuscated data within the document. While the document body is heavily corrupted and unreadable, the ClamAV detection strongly implies an intent to deliver a malicious payload, likely through a phishing lure.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Img.Dropper.PhishingLure-6443153-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Img.Dropper.PhishingLure-6443153-0
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 129,024 bytes but its declared streams total only 24,685 bytes — 104,339 bytes (81%) 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.
