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

The sample is an RTF file containing OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating an attempt to automatically activate embedded objects. This is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. No document body or script content was available for further analysis, limiting the ability to identify specific IOCs or family.

Heuristics 2

  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE

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