MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The file is detected as Win.Trojan.Psycho-3 by ClamAV, indicating malicious intent. The presence of an embedded URL pointing to 'www.WalruS.8k.com' suggests a potential download or redirection to malicious content. The heuristic firing for 'SC_STR_WSCRIPT' indicates the use of Windows Script Host, often employed to execute downloaded payloads or scripts.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Psycho-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Psycho-3
  • Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPT
    Reference to Windows Script Host
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 480,768 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,490 bytes — 464,278 bytes (97%) 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).
  • 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.
