The sample is an OLE document with significant slack space, indicating potential obfuscation. Heuristics indicate XOR-encoded strings and PEB access, common in malware. The document body presents itself as an application form for various permits, a common lure for social engineering. No scripts were extracted, and no specific IOCs were identified beyond the file itself.

XOR-encoded strings (key 0x97) critical SC_XOR_ENCODEDFound 6 Windows library/API name(s) XOR-encoded with single-byte key 0x97: 'kernel32.dll', 'shell32.dll', 'LoadLibraryA', 'GetProcAddress', 'RegOpenKeyExA', 'ShellExecuteA'

OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALYOLE 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).
