MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1047 Windows Management Instrumentation

The RTF document contains a large OLE object with excessive hex-encoded data, strongly suggesting it is used to hide a malicious payload. The \objupdate directive indicates an attempt to automatically activate this embedded object upon opening. No document body or script content was available for further analysis, but the presence of the OLE object and the RTF structure are indicative of a downloader or dropper.

Heuristics 4

  • \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.
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~1110KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
