The file is a malicious OLE document with a large slack space anomaly, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. The SC_PEB_ACCESS heuristic suggests the document attempts to access process information, likely to facilitate exploitation. While no specific script was extracted, the combination of these indicators points to an exploit attempt designed to download and execute a secondary payload.

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 121,904 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 105,418 bytes (86%) 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).
