The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, with a specific ".objupdate" trigger identified. This suggests the document is designed to exploit OLE object activation to execute embedded code. While no specific script was extracted, the presence of OLE objects and the update trigger strongly indicate a malicious intent, likely to download and execute a secondary payload or exploit a vulnerability. The confidence is moderate due to the lack of directly executable script content.

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
