The RTF document contains a large amount of OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX heuristics. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this object data is intended to be activated, likely exploiting a vulnerability within Microsoft Office. The extracted artifact 'objdata_00_off000009b3.bin' is suspicious and likely contains the payload. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear intent, but the heuristics strongly suggest a malicious exploit attempt.

Heuristics 4

  • \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.
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~1231KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
