MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object, identified by RTF_OBJDATA, RTF_OBJEMB, and RTF_OBJCLASS_PACKAGE heuristics. Crucially, a PE header (RTF_MZ_HEX) was found within the object's data, indicating it is likely a Windows executable. This suggests the RTF is a dropper or container for a malicious executable payload.

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
