MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data, indicated by RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OBJEMB heuristics. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that the embedded object is designed to be activated automatically, likely leading to the execution of malicious code. The specific exploit or payload is not detailed, but the mechanism points to a classic OLE object exploitation technique.

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
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
