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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic specifically points to the ".objupdate" directive, which forces OLE activation. This suggests the file is designed to exploit this mechanism to execute arbitrary code or download a secondary payload. No document body or script content was available for further analysis, limiting the ability to identify a specific family or more detailed IOCs.

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
