T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The sample is a malicious OLE document exhibiting a large slack space anomaly and XOR-encoded strings, indicating obfuscation. The presence of these indicators suggests an attempt to exploit a vulnerability within Microsoft Word for code execution, likely to download and run a secondary payload.
Heuristics 2
-
XOR-encoded strings (key 0xFC) critical SC_XOR_ENCODEDFound 5 Windows library/API name(s) XOR-encoded with single-byte key 0xFC: 'LoadLibraryA', 'GetProcAddress', 'VirtualAlloc', 'CreateProcessA', 'RegOpenKeyExA'
-
OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALYOLE file is 144,896 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 128,410 bytes (89%) 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).
