The RTF document contains an embedded OLE object, identified as a package object class. Further analysis reveals a PE header within the OLE object's data, indicating it is a Windows executable. This suggests a technique where a malicious executable is embedded within a seemingly benign document to bypass initial security checks.

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
