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

The RTF document contains multiple OLE objects, indicated by RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OBJEMB heuristics. The presence of RTF_OBJUPDATE and RTF_OBJCLASS_PACKAGE suggests that these embedded objects are designed to be activated, likely leading to the execution of embedded malicious content. The specific nature of the payload is not discernible from the static analysis alone, but the technique points towards a malicious OLE object delivery mechanism.

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.
  • Package object class high RTF_OBJCLASS_PACKAGE
    OLE Package object — can wrap arbitrary files
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 5 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
