MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File Execution T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File

The RTF file contains a large amount of hex-encoded data within an OLE object, which is indicative of a hidden payload. ClamAV signatures confirm this, detecting it as 'Win.Dropper.Bifrost-9992400-0'. The document body provides instructions to the user to execute this embedded object, likely leading to the execution of the dropper payload.

Heuristics 8

  • 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.Dropper.Bifrost-9992400-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Dropper.Bifrost-9992400-0
  • 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
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~5514KB 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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.

Extracted artifacts 1

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
