Heuristics 3

  • Embedded Adobe Flash (SWF) in OLE document critical OFFICE_EMBEDDED_SWF
    Document contains an embedded Adobe Flash (SWF) object. Vulnerabilities such as CVE-2018-4878 and CVE-2018-15982 involved Flash objects embedded in Office files. Adobe Flash has been end-of-life since December 2020.
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 309,944 bytes but its declared streams total only 22,169 bytes — 287,775 bytes (93%) 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.
