MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The RTF file contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating it's designed to activate embedded objects. The document body provides a lure, instructing the user to 'Enable editing' and implying a need to view sensitive financial information, which is a common tactic for macro-enabled malware droppers. No specific IOCs were extracted beyond the file itself.

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
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
