MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this object is designed to be activated automatically upon opening the document. This points to a likely attack pattern involving the exploitation of OLE vulnerabilities or the delivery of a malicious payload embedded within the object data. No specific family could be identified, and the document body was truncated.

Heuristics 2

  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE
