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

The OLE document exhibits a significant slack space anomaly (76% of the file), which is a common characteristic of packed or obfuscated malicious documents. Heuristic firings indicate the presence of references to `VirtualAlloc`, `LoadLibrary`, and `GetProcAddress` APIs. These functions are frequently used by malware to allocate memory, load malicious code, and resolve API addresses, strongly suggesting the document is a loader for a second-stage payload. No document body text or scripts were extracted, limiting further analysis of the specific lure or payload delivery mechanism.

  • 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 88,480 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 67,329 bytes (76%) 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).
