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

The sample is an RTF file containing OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that the embedded OLE object is configured to activate automatically, which is a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities or executing embedded code. While no specific payload or script was directly extracted and readable, the presence of these heuristics strongly implies an attempt to achieve arbitrary code execution upon opening the document, likely serving as a downloader for further malicious activity.

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
