The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object which, upon decoding, reveals a PE header. ClamAV signatures identify this as Win.Dropper.Bifrost-9981997-0. This suggests the file is designed to drop and execute a malicious payload, likely a trojan or backdoor given the family name.

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
