MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an RTF document containing embedded OLE objects, as indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OBJEMB heuristics. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that the embedded object is designed to be activated automatically upon opening the document. ClamAV detection confirms this as Rtf.Dropper.Agent-7652590-0, strongly indicating its function as a dropper. The lack of document body text or script content means the exact payload and delivery mechanism cannot be determined, but the RTF structure points to a malicious OLE object execution.
