T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The critical ClamAV detection identifies the file as Win.Dropper.Agent-34643, a known dropper. The heuristic firing for SC_STR_WSCRIPT indicates the presence of Windows Script Host, suggesting the document is designed to execute malicious scripts. The OLE slack anomaly is a common characteristic of packed or obfuscated malicious files.

    OLE file is 201,728 bytes but its declared streams total only 40,570 bytes — 161,158 bytes (80%) 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).
