MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1055 Process Injection

The OLE document exhibits a large slack space anomaly, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. Heuristic firings for VirtualAlloc, VirtualProtect, LoadLibrary, and GetProcAddress strongly suggest the execution of shellcode or a dynamically loaded payload. No document body text or scripts were extracted, limiting further analysis of the specific lure or payload delivery mechanism.

    OLE file is 51,011 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 29,860 bytes (59%) 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).
