MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File

The RTF file contains an OLE object and an instruction to 'Enable editing', which are common lures to trick users into activating embedded malicious content. The heuristic 'SE_ENABLE_LURE' specifically indicates that the document instructs the user to enable macros or editing, a typical dropper behavior. No specific malware family could be identified from the available evidence.

Heuristics 3

  • \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
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
