MITRE ATT&CK
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The sample is an OLE document with a high-confidence heuristic firing for CreateProcess API usage, indicating an attempt to launch an external process. This is further supported by an embedded URL, suggesting the document is a lure to download and execute a secondary payload. The large slack space in the OLE structure is anomalous but does not directly inform the attack pattern.

Heuristics 3

  • 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 65,696 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 44,545 bytes (68%) 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).
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
