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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects and triggers OLE activation via \objupdate, indicating an attempt to execute embedded code. The presence of RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OBJEMB heuristics strongly suggests the file is designed to exploit OLE object handling. While no specific payload or URL was directly extracted, the structure points to a downloader or exploit delivery mechanism. The document body was heavily obfuscated and unreadable, preventing further analysis of the lure.

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
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
