The file is an RTF document exhibiting high-confidence heuristics for OLE object embedding and automatic updates. This suggests the document is designed to exploit user interaction to activate embedded objects, which typically leads to the download and execution of a secondary payload. The specific RTF heuristics indicate a mechanism for triggering this activation, likely involving a malicious link or script embedded within the OLE object. Without further script analysis or document body content, the exact payload and delivery mechanism remain uncertain, hence the 'unknown family' designation.

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
