The RTF file contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating it is designed to activate embedded objects. The document body provides a lure related to financial auditing to encourage users to enable editing, a common tactic for macro-based malware delivery. The presence of these elements strongly suggests the file is a malicious dropper.

Heuristics 3

    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
