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

The RTF file contains OLE object data and triggers OLE activation via \objupdate, indicating an attempt to execute embedded content. The lack of readable document body text or scripts prevents a more detailed analysis of the payload's intent. The primary IOC is the file's SHA256 hash.

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
