MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.001 Component Object Model Hijacking T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF document contains embedded OLE object data, specifically a Package object, which is a known technique for delivering malicious payloads. The critical heuristic firing RTF_MZ_HEX indicates the presence of a PE header within the RTF's hex data, pointing to an embedded executable. The extracted data reveals a path 'C:\backuped.exe' and a filename '3.ico', suggesting the embedded PE is disguised as an icon file but intended to be executed. The embedded PE itself is likely the payload, and the RTF serves as the initial delivery vector.

Heuristics 4

  • 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
  • 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
