MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects, with one specifically triggering an \objupdate heuristic, indicating an attempt to activate embedded content. The document body impersonates a government warning about phishing and credential theft, likely as a pretext to trick users into interacting with the embedded malicious content. No scripts were extracted, limiting further analysis of the payload.

Heuristics 4

  • \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 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
