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

The RTF document contains an embedded OLE object that is triggered by \objupdate, indicating an attempt to exploit a vulnerability. The presence of objdata suggests the exploitation of the Equation Editor vulnerability (CVE-2017-11882). The extracted artifact, objdata_00_off00000043.bin, is likely the payload or exploit code. The file is classified as malicious, and the techniques observed are consistent with delivering a secondary payload via an embedded object.

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.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • 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.
