MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The RTF document contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating an attempt to embed and activate an object. This is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. While no specific URLs or scripts were extracted, the presence of these RTF-specific indicators strongly suggests a malicious intent to exploit OLE object activation. The confidence is moderate due to the lack of concrete payload indicators.

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
