MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious OLE document with a large slack space anomaly, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. The PEB access heuristic suggests an attempt to interact with the process environment, likely to facilitate exploitation or payload execution. While no specific VBA or script content was provided, the heuristics and the nature of OLE documents strongly suggest an exploit attempt to download and run a secondary payload.

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 163,840 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 147,354 bytes (90%) 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).
