The file is an XLS document with a large slack space anomaly, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. The heuristic firing 'SC_PEB_ACCESS' suggests the sample attempts to interact with the Process Environment Block, often used for anti-analysis or payload execution. The document body presents as a series of application forms, a common lure for social engineering attacks.

Heuristics 2

  • PEB access via FS segment (x86) high SC_PEB_ACCESS
    PEB access via FS segment (x86)
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 86,016 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,308 bytes — 64,708 bytes (75%) 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).
