MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.001 Component Object Model

The RTF file contains OLE object data and a significant amount of hex-encoded data within its objdata sections. The \objupdate directive indicates an attempt to force OLE activation, which is a common technique for delivering embedded malicious payloads. The extracted artifact 'objdata_00_off00000074.bin' is likely the hidden payload.

Heuristics 4

  • \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.
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~1923KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
