MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Agent-30444. Static analysis revealed an OLE document with a large slack space and an appended executable payload, indicating it likely functions as a downloader or dropper for further malicious activity. The presence of an appended payload suggests an attempt to transfer and execute additional tools.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-30444 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-30444
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 124,928 bytes but its declared streams total only 29,612 bytes — 95,316 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).
  • OLE file has appended executable-looking payload bytes high OLE_APPENDED_PAYLOAD
    OLE compound file contains a large high-entropy region beyond the declared major streams and that region includes shellcode, PE, or loader API markers. This is a payload-carrier signal, not a specific CVE attribution by itself.
