The sample is an RTF document that contains OLE object data, which is automatically linked and updated. This suggests the document is designed to exploit OLE vulnerabilities to execute embedded code. While no specific script was extracted, the heuristics strongly indicate a malicious OLE object is present, likely intended to download and execute a secondary payload upon opening.

Heuristics 3

  • 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
