The RTF document contains OLE object data, with heuristics indicating that \objupdate forces OLE activation. This suggests an attempt to exploit OLE object handling to execute embedded code. The extracted artifact 'objdata_00_off00001680.bin' is likely the payload. No scripts were extracted from this sample, and the document body is unreadable, limiting further analysis of the specific lure.

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.
  • 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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
