The sample is a malicious OLE document that contains a large slack space anomaly. A high-severity heuristic firing indicates a reference to the CreateProcess API, suggesting the document attempts to launch an external process. The document body is filled with unreadable characters, providing no contextual clues. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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 66,208 bytes but its declared streams total only 21,151 bytes — 45,057 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).
