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

The RTF document contains OLE object data that is forced to activate via \objupdate, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE vulnerabilities. The embedded OLE object stream, Ole10Native, has high entropy, suggesting it contains obfuscated or packed code. While no specific scripts were extracted, the heuristics strongly suggest the document is designed to execute arbitrary code upon opening, likely as a first stage for a more complex attack.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • \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
