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

The RTF document contains OLE object data and uses \objupdate to force OLE activation, indicating an attempt to execute embedded code. While no specific script was extracted, the heuristics strongly suggest a malicious OLE object is embedded. The presence of an embedded URL also points towards a delivery mechanism for further malicious activity.

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
