MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample exhibits high heuristic scores for PEB access and a large slack space anomaly, indicative of obfuscation or exploit code. The document body contains numerous embedded OLE objects and what appear to be API calls for file operations and execution, suggesting an attempt to download and run a second-stage payload. Without further script or URL evidence, the exact family and payload remain unknown.

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 151,552 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 135,066 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).
