MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF file contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating an attempt to embed and activate potentially malicious content. While no specific payload or script was directly extracted, the presence of these indicators strongly suggests a malicious document designed to exploit OLE object handling. The SHA256 hash is included as a primary identifier for this malicious file.

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
