MITRE ATT&CK
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The file is identified as a malicious OLE document. Static analysis revealed a significant amount of slack space within the OLE structure, which is often used to hide malicious content. Additionally, a reference to the CreateProcess API was detected, indicating the potential for the document to launch external processes. While no specific URLs or scripts were extracted, these indicators suggest a high likelihood of malicious intent, possibly for code execution.

Heuristics 3

  • Reference to CreateProcess API high SC_STR_CREATEPROCESS
    Reference to CreateProcess API
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 692,640 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 671,489 bytes (97%) 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).
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
