MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The file is an RTF document containing embedded OLE object data, as indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this object is configured to activate automatically upon opening, which is a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities and executing embedded code. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, providing no direct clues to its purpose. Given the nature of the heuristics, the likely attack pattern involves exploiting a vulnerability via the embedded OLE object to achieve code execution.

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 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
