MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The file exhibits characteristics of a malicious OLE document, including a significant amount of slack space and the presence of NOP sleds. Heuristics indicate the use of Windows API functions such as CreateProcess, VirtualAlloc, LoadLibrary, and GetProcAddress, which are commonly employed by malware to load and execute payloads. The exact nature of the payload is not discernible from the provided evidence, leading to an unknown family classification and moderate confidence.

Heuristics 6

  • NOP sled detected high SC_NOP_SLED
    Found 20+ consecutive 0x90 bytes
  • Reference to CreateProcess API high SC_STR_CREATEPROCESS
    Reference to CreateProcess API
  • Reference to LoadLibrary API high SC_STR_LOADLIBRARY
    Reference to LoadLibrary API
  • Reference to GetProcAddress API high SC_STR_GETPROCADDRESS
    Reference to GetProcAddress API
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 114,274 bytes but its declared streams total only 26,783 bytes — 87,491 bytes (77%) 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).
  • Reference to VirtualAlloc API medium SC_STR_VIRTUALALLOC
    Reference to VirtualAlloc API
