Malware Insights

The OLE document exhibits a significant slack space anomaly, with over 98% of the file being unaccounted for, suggesting the presence of hidden malicious code. Additionally, a PEB access heuristic was triggered, indicating potential anti-analysis or evasion techniques. No specific family could be identified, and no document body or scripts were available for further analysis.

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 1,116,160 bytes but its declared streams total only 24,565 bytes — 1,091,595 bytes (98%) 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).
