MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File T1129 Execution through API execution

The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object which, when decoded, reveals a PE executable. Heuristics indicate this is a malicious payload, specifically identified by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Clicker-4220. The embedded object is the primary mechanism for delivering the malicious executable, suggesting a spearphishing attachment attack vector.

Heuristics 7

  • 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.Clicker-4220 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Clicker-4220
  • 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
  • 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.
