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

The file is an RTF document containing OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this OLE object is designed to be activated automatically, likely leading to the execution of embedded malicious code. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear textual lures. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE
