MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an OLE document with a significant amount of slack space, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. Heuristics indicate the use of Windows API functions like VirtualAlloc, VirtualProtect, LoadLibrary, and GetProcAddress, which are commonly used by malware to allocate memory and load dynamic libraries. An embedded URL was also detected. These factors suggest the document is likely a malicious loader or dropper, though the specific family is not identifiable from the provided evidence.

Heuristics 5

  • Reference to LoadLibrary API high SC_STR_LOADLIBRARY
    Reference to LoadLibrary API
  • Reference to GetProcAddress API high SC_STR_GETPROCADDRESS
    Reference to GetProcAddress API
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 138,684 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 117,533 bytes (85%) 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).
