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

The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA, RTF_OBJEMB, and RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic firings. The RTF_OBJUPDATE rule specifically suggests that the embedded object is configured to activate automatically, which is a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities in document parsers to achieve arbitrary code execution. While no specific payload or URL was extracted, the presence of these indicators strongly suggests a malicious document designed to exploit a vulnerability and likely download a secondary stage.

Heuristics 3

  • \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
