MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF document contains multiple high-severity heuristics indicating the presence and activation of OLE objects. Specifically, RTF_OBJAUTLINK and RTF_OBJUPDATE suggest that the embedded OLE object is automatically linked and updated, which is a common technique for executing embedded malicious code. The RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM heuristic further confirms the presence of a decoded OLE object. While no specific script was extracted, these heuristics strongly suggest that the file is designed to exploit OLE object vulnerabilities to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 4

  • Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM
    RTF contains an embedded OLE object with an Ole10Native stream. This is a strong payload-container signal and is related to Word/OLE exploit delivery, but it is not specific enough on its own to assign a CVE.
  • Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINK
    RTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
  • \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 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
