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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects, including a package object and PE header in hex data, indicating a malicious payload. The document body prompts the user to click an image to view a receipt, a common lure for social engineering. The extracted artifact 'objdata_00_off0000012f.bin' is likely the embedded malicious executable.

Heuristics 5

  • PE header (with DOS stub) in hex data critical RTF_MZ_HEX

  • 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 medium 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.
