MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PowerPoint slideshow (PPS) with a verdict of malicious. It contains appended executable data, indicating it's likely a dropper or container for a secondary payload. The document body is a religious-themed message designed to encourage sharing, a common social engineering tactic to spread malware. No scripts were extracted, and the embedded URLs are benign, suggesting the malicious payload is likely within the appended data.

Heuristics 3

  • x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EAX) high SC_GETPC_CALL
    x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EAX)
  • OLE file has appended executable-looking payload bytes high OLE_APPENDED_PAYLOAD
    OLE compound file contains a large high-entropy region beyond the declared major streams and that region includes shellcode, PE, or loader API markers. This is a payload-carrier signal, not a specific CVE attribution by itself.
  • 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.
