Malware Insights

The sample is a malicious Excel file exhibiting an OLE slack anomaly and a GetPC stub, indicative of potential code execution. While no specific payload delivery mechanism is evident from the limited heuristics, these indicators suggest the file is designed to exploit vulnerabilities or execute arbitrary code. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EDI) high SC_GETPC_CALL
    x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EDI)
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 132,058 bytes but its declared streams total only 24,565 bytes — 107,493 bytes (81%) 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).
