The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, including a PE header in hex data, indicating the presence of executable content. ClamAV signatures confirm this as Win.Trojan.Vbkrypt-9795. The document body suggests a social engineering lure related to a lawsuit to trick the user into interacting with the embedded malicious object.

Heuristics 6

  • PE header (with DOS stub) in hex data critical RTF_MZ_HEX
    Hex-encoded PE (MZ + DOS stub) found inside RTF — likely an embedded executable payload
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Vbkrypt-9795 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Vbkrypt-9795
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Package object class high RTF_OBJCLASS_PACKAGE
    OLE Package object — can wrap arbitrary files
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object

Extracted artifacts 1
