MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains multiple embedded OLE objects, including a package object, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. ClamAV specifically detects this file as Doc.Exploit.CVE_2012_0158-6826115-0, confirming the exploitation of CVE-2012-0158. This exploit allows for client-side execution of arbitrary code, likely to download and run a secondary payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Rtf.Dropper.Agent-7148329-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Dropper.Agent-7148329-0
