The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data, specifically identified as a package object. Critical heuristics indicate the presence of a PE header within this data, strongly suggesting that the RTF is acting as a container for a malicious executable. This executable is likely intended to be dropped and run by the user or the application opening the RTF.

Heuristics 4

  • 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
  • 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
