The RTF document contains embedded OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this embedded object is designed to be automatically activated upon opening the document. The presence of the ole10NatIve stream further confirms the embedding of an OLE object, which is likely malicious and intended to execute code. The embedded artifact 'objdata_00_off00000f4b.bin' is the most direct indicator of the malicious content.

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
