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

The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, including a package object, which is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. Static analysis detected a PE header within hex data, indicating the presence of an executable. ClamAV identified the file as Html.Trojan.GenericFakeAV-1, further supporting 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
