The critical ClamAV detection of 'Win.Exploit.Shellcode-23' combined with the 'SC_NOP_SLED' and 'OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY' heuristics strongly indicates the presence of shellcode designed to exploit a vulnerability within the OLE document format. The large slack space suggests obfuscation or padding for the exploit. No specific family could be identified, but the pattern is consistent with a shellcode dropper.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Win.Exploit.Shellcode-23 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Exploit.Shellcode-23
  • NOP sled detected high SC_NOP_SLED
    Found 20+ consecutive 0x90 bytes
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 252,416 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 235,930 bytes (93%) 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).
