The OLE document exhibits a significant slack space anomaly, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. The presence of an x86 GetPC stub heuristic firing suggests an attempt to execute shellcode. While no specific exploit or payload is directly identifiable from the provided heuristics and document body, the combination points towards a malicious Office document likely leveraging an embedded exploit.

Heuristics 2

  • x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EAX) high SC_GETPC_CALL
    x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EAX)
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 44,286 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,536 bytes — 27,750 bytes (63%) 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).
