The sample is an RTF document that contains embedded OLE objects, with a specific heuristic indicating that \objupdate forces OLE activation. The document body contains a lure instructing the user to 'Enable editing' and mentions financial statements and auditors, suggesting a pretext to trick the user into activating the embedded malicious content. This content likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 4
-
\objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATERTF 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_OBJDATARTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
