MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains OLE object data and a ".objupdate" directive, which are strong indicators of an embedded OLE object intended for execution. The extracted artifact 'objdata_00_off000003e6.bin' is flagged as a potential shellcode region. This suggests the file is designed to exploit vulnerabilities or deliver a malicious payload upon opening.

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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
