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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data and uses an \objupdate directive, indicating an attempt to exploit a vulnerability to activate and execute the embedded object. This is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads via document files. No scripts were extracted, and the document body contained only numerical data, providing no further context on the specific lure.

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
