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

The RTF file contains OLE object data and uses an \objupdate directive, indicating it's designed to trigger OLE object activation. This mechanism is commonly used to embed and execute malicious code, often to download and run a second-stage payload. The embedded OLE object, objdata_00_off00001cd7.bin, is the primary artifact facilitating this attack.

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
