MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Img.Dropper.PhishingLure-6443153-0', indicating it's a dropper for phishing lures. The OLE document structure shows a significant amount of slack space, which is often used to hide malicious content. While the document body is heavily obfuscated and truncated, the heuristic firings strongly suggest the file's purpose is to deliver a malicious payload.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Img.Dropper.PhishingLure-6443153-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Img.Dropper.PhishingLure-6443153-0
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 143,360 bytes but its declared streams total only 24,669 bytes — 118,691 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).
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
