The sample is a PowerPoint file (PPS) identified by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Bifrose-19335. It contains an embedded PE executable, indicating a likely delivery mechanism for a secondary malicious payload. The heuristics for PEB access and API hash resolution suggest anti-analysis techniques commonly employed by trojans.

Heuristics 7

  • Embedded PE executable critical OLE_EMBEDDED_EXE
    MZ/PE header found inside document — possible embedded executable
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Bifrose-19335 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Bifrose-19335
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • PEB access via FS segment (x86) high SC_PEB_ACCESS
    PEB access via FS segment (x86)
  • PEB API-hash resolver high SC_API_HASH_RESOLVER
    PEB access followed by ROR13-style API hashing, a common position-independent shellcode import resolver
  • Reference to LoadLibrary API high SC_STR_LOADLIBRARY
    Reference to LoadLibrary API
  • Reference to GetProcAddress API high SC_STR_GETPROCADDRESS
    Reference to GetProcAddress API
