The sample exhibits a high severity heuristic firing for PEB access via FS segment, indicating an attempt to exploit a vulnerability or manipulate process information. The large slack space in the OLE structure suggests hidden or packed data, often used to conceal malicious code. While no specific document body content or scripts were clearly extracted, the PEB access heuristic strongly suggests an attempt to download and execute a secondary payload, aligning with common dropper functionalities.

Heuristics 2

  • PEB access via FS segment (x86) high SC_PEB_ACCESS
    PEB access via FS segment (x86)
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 95,824 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 79,338 bytes (83%) 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).
