MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating it is designed to exploit a vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. The embedded OLE object is likely a payload, but its specific nature could not be determined from static analysis alone.

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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
