MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File

The RTF document contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating it's designed to activate embedded objects. The document body presents a deceptive message urging the user to 'enable editing' due to viewing problems, a typical social engineering tactic to bypass security warnings and execute embedded malicious content. No scripts were extracted, and no specific family could be identified.

Heuristics 2

  • \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
