MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The RTF file contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE object activation for code execution. The high-severity heuristic firing on \objupdate strongly suggests exploitation for client execution. While no specific family is identified, the technique points towards a malicious document delivered via spearphishing.

Heuristics 2

  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE
    RTF contains \objupdate — forces automatic OLE object instantiation when the document is opened, bypassing user interaction. Almost exclusively seen in Equation Editor exploit documents.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
