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

The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that these objects are designed to be activated automatically upon opening the document, which is a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities and executing arbitrary code. The presence of embedded OLE object data, even without a readable document body or scripts, strongly suggests an exploitation attempt.

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 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
