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

The RTF document contains OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this embedded object is designed to be activated, likely to execute a payload. The presence of a suspicious extracted artifact further supports malicious intent. Without further script or URL evidence, the exact payload and delivery mechanism remain unclear, leading to an 'unknown family' classification and moderate confidence.

Heuristics 3

  • \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
  • 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.
