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

The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, indicated by RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OBJEMB heuristics. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic specifically points to the objupdate directive, which forces OLE object activation, suggesting an attempt to automatically execute embedded code. An extracted artifact, objdata_00_off00000062.bin, further supports the presence of potentially malicious embedded content. Without a document body or script content, the exact payload and delivery mechanism remain unclear, leading to an unknown family classification.

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.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • 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.
