The presence of a CreateProcess API reference strongly suggests the document is designed to execute external code. The OLE Slack Anomaly indicates potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. While the embedded URL was benign, the heuristic firings point towards a downloader or exploit execution pattern. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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 123,296 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 102,145 bytes (83%) 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.
