MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains a high amount of hex-encoded data within an OLE object, which includes a PE header. ClamAV signatures indicate this is a Win.Dropper.Nanocore variant, suggesting it's designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The document body's instruction to double-click an image further supports the payload delivery intent.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Win.Dropper.Nanocore-9903300-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Dropper.Nanocore-9903300-0
  • 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
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~1018KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
  • 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
  • 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.
