MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 User Execution: Malicious Link T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1187 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data and heuristics indicate that \objupdate forces OLE activation, a common technique for executing embedded malicious content. The document body provides a lure, instructing the user to 'click Enable editing from the yellow bar above', which is a typical method to bypass macro security settings and execute the embedded payload.

Heuristics 4

  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE

  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
