MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The RTF document contains multiple OLE objects, with one specifically triggering an \objupdate heuristic, indicating an attempt to automatically activate embedded content. While no scripts were extracted, the presence of OLE objects suggests a delivery mechanism for malicious payloads. The document body is minimal and does not provide further context on the lure.

Heuristics 4

  • \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 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • 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.
