MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample exhibits a high slack anomaly in its OLE structure, indicative of embedded malicious content. The PEB access heuristic suggests an attempt to evade detection or manipulate process information. While no explicit script was extracted, the OLE structure and heuristics point towards a document-based exploit, likely designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The reconstructed registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Resiliency\DisabledItems\h suggests an attempt to bypass Office security features.

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 82,944 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 66,458 bytes (80%) 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).
