MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object, identified as a package object, which in turn contains a PE header. This strongly suggests the document is designed to trick the user into executing a malicious payload disguised as a receipt. The embedded OLE object is the primary indicator of malicious intent, likely leading to client execution via exploitation.

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
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
