The sample is an OLE document with a high slack space anomaly, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. A high-severity heuristic firing for the CreateProcess API suggests the document attempts to launch an external process. No document body or script content was available for further analysis, limiting the ability to determine the exact payload or delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 2

  • Reference to CreateProcess API high SC_STR_CREATEPROCESS
    Reference to CreateProcess API
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 59,296 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 38,145 bytes (64%) 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).
