MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.001 Component Object Model

The RTF file contains OLE object data, indicated by RTF_OBJDATA heuristics. The RTF_OBJAUTLINK and RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristics suggest that the embedded OLE object is automatically linked and its activation is forced, which is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. No document body or script content was available for further analysis.

Heuristics 3

  • Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINK
    RTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
  • \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
