MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The OLE document exhibits a large slack space anomaly, indicating potential obfuscation or embedded malicious content. The PEB access heuristic suggests an attempt to interact with the process environment, often a precursor to payload execution. While no scripts were directly extracted, the document structure and heuristics point towards a malicious macro or exploit within the Word document itself, likely designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 3

  • PEB access via FS segment (x86) high SC_PEB_ACCESS
    PEB access via FS segment (x86)
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 83,456 bytes but its declared streams total only 16,486 bytes — 66,970 bytes (80%) 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.
