The RTF file exhibits multiple high-severity heuristics indicating the presence of embedded OLE objects containing significant amounts of hex-encoded data, a common technique for hiding malicious payloads. ClamAV detection confirms this as 'Xls.Dropper.Agent-7670001-0', a known dropper. The objupdate heuristic suggests that these embedded objects are designed to be activated, likely to execute the hidden payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Xls.Dropper.Agent-7670001-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Dropper.Agent-7670001-0
  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE
    RTF contains \objupdate — forces automatic OLE object instantiation when the document is opened, bypassing user interaction. Almost exclusively seen in Equation Editor exploit documents.
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~1071KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 16 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • 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.
