MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains OLE object data and uses \objupdate to force activation, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE vulnerabilities for execution. The embedded OLE object, decoded as 'objdata_00_off00000ef3.bin', is the primary artifact of interest. Without further script or body content, the exact payload and delivery mechanism remain unclear, but the technique strongly suggests a malicious attachment designed to execute arbitrary code.

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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
