The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object, identified as a Package object, which in turn contains a PE header in hex data. This strongly suggests the RTF is a container for a malicious executable. ClamAV detection as Html.Trojan.GenericFakeAV-1 further supports its malicious nature.

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: Html.Trojan.GenericFakeAV-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Html.Trojan.GenericFakeAV-1
  • 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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
