Malware Insights

The OLE document exhibits a significant amount of slack space, which is anomalous and often indicative of malicious intent, potentially serving as a steganographic container or a dropper. The PEB access heuristic further suggests suspicious code execution within the document. Without a document body or scripts, the exact payload and delivery mechanism remain unclear, leading to a lower confidence in family attribution.

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 194,049 bytes but its declared streams total only 94,801 bytes — 99,248 bytes (51%) 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).
