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

The RTF file contains an OLE object with ".objdata" and ".objupdate" sections, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE object activation. This is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads, often via spearphishing attachments. The specific exploit targeted is not detailed, but the presence of these indicators strongly suggests an attack pattern involving user interaction to trigger the exploit.

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
