MITRE ATT&CK
T1559 Component Object Model and Distributed Component Object Model T1559.001 Component Object Model and Distributed Component Object Model: Component Object Model

The RTF document contains OLE object data and is configured to automatically update and activate these objects. This suggests an attempt to leverage OLE vulnerabilities for code execution. The extracted artifact 'objdata_00_off000078f1.bin' is likely the payload or exploit code. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 5

  • 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
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
