The RTF document contains OLE object data and uses \objupdate to force OLE activation, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities associated with OLE objects. The embedded OLE object was decoded and extracted as 'objdata_00_off000019bd.bin', which is the primary indicator of compromise. The specific attack pattern suggests leveraging OLE for code execution.

Heuristics 3

  • Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM
    RTF contains an embedded OLE object with an Ole10Native stream. This is a strong payload-container signal and is related to Word/OLE exploit delivery, but it is not specific enough on its own to assign a CVE.
  • \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
