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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects, including a package object, and critical PE header information within its hex data. The document body, though partially truncated, suggests a lure related to viewing a receipt. The presence of a PE header strongly indicates that the embedded object is a Windows executable payload, likely intended for execution upon user interaction.

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
