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

The RTF document contains an embedded OLE object which, when decoded, reveals a PE executable. Heuristics indicate this is a package object containing a DOS stub and PE header, and ClamAV identifies it as Win.Trojan.Clicker-3830. This suggests the document is a malicious attachment designed to trick the user into executing a secondary payload.

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: Win.Trojan.Clicker-3830 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Clicker-3830
  • 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

Extracted artifacts 1
