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

The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this object is forced to activate, which is a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities in OLE objects. The extracted artifact 'objdata_00_off000019de.bin' is flagged as a potential shellcode candidate, further supporting the exploitation attempt. The lack of readable document body text or scripts prevents a more specific analysis of the lure or payload.

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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
