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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this object is designed to be automatically activated upon opening, likely leading to the execution of malicious code. Without further script or body content, the exact payload and delivery mechanism remain unclear, but the structure points to a classic OLE object exploitation technique.

Heuristics 2

  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE
