T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF document contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE activation for malicious purposes. The presence of embedded OLE object data suggests the document is designed to drop and execute a secondary payload. While no specific script was extracted, the heuristics strongly point towards a malicious OLE object being embedded and triggered upon opening.

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
