MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF file contains OLE object data that is automatically linked and updated, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities associated with OLE object activation. The presence of an embedded URL, though benign, suggests a delivery mechanism. The heuristics strongly point towards exploitation of OLE object vulnerabilities within the RTF document.

Heuristics 4

  • 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
  • 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.
