MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File

The RTF document contains an OLE object and an instruction to 'Enable editing', which is a common lure to bypass macro security settings. The presence of ".objdata" and ".objupdate" heuristics indicates embedded OLE objects, often used to deliver malicious payloads. The document body discusses financial statements and internal controls, likely a pretext to disguise the malicious intent.

Heuristics 3

  • \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
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
