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

The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, indicated by RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM heuristics. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that these objects are designed to be activated automatically upon opening the document. This mechanism is commonly used to execute embedded code, often to download and run further malicious stages. The specific nature of the embedded content could not be fully determined due to truncation, but the heuristics strongly indicate a malicious intent.

Heuristics 3

  • Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM
    RTF contains an embedded OLE object with an Ole10Native stream. This is a strong payload-container signal and is related to Word/OLE exploit delivery, but it is not specific enough on its own to assign a CVE.
  • \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 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
