T1059.001 PowerShell
The file is identified as malicious with several high-severity heuristic firings, including a NOP sled and XOR-encoded strings with a key of 0xFF. The OLE document also shows a significant slack space anomaly. While no specific document body content or scripts were provided for direct analysis of user-facing lures, the presence of embedded URLs and the nature of the heuristics suggest a malicious document designed to execute further stages, possibly involving encoded payloads.
Heuristics 3
-
XOR-encoded strings (key 0xFF) critical SC_XOR_ENCODEDFound 8 Windows library/API name(s) XOR-encoded with single-byte key 0xFF: 'LoadLibraryA', 'LoadLibraryA', 'GetProcAddress', 'VirtualAlloc', 'VirtualProtect', 'CreateProcessA', 'CreateProcessA', 'ExitProcess '

-
OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALYOLE file is 81,412 bytes but its declared streams total only 25,474 bytes — 55,938 bytes (69%) 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).
