The RTF document contains OLE object data and heuristics indicate that an automatically linked OLE object is being updated, suggesting an attempt to execute embedded code. The document body includes a lure instructing the user to 'Enable editing' and implies the need to enable macros, a common tactic for macro-based malware droppers. The presence of RTF_OBJAUTLINK and RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristics strongly suggests the execution of embedded OLE objects, likely containing malicious macros.
Heuristics 4
-
Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINKRTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
-
\objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATERTF 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_OBJDATARTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
