MITRE ATT&CK
T1559 Component Object Model and Distributed Component Object Model T1559.001 Component Object Model and Distributed Component Object Model: Component Object Model

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects, specifically a package object, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The critical heuristic firing for an MZ header within hex data suggests that a Portable Executable (PE) file is embedded, likely serving as the payload. The file's SHA256 hash is included as an IOC.

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
