MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains heuristics indicating the presence of embedded OLE objects that are automatically linked and updated. This suggests the file is designed to exploit vulnerabilities or trick the user into activating embedded content, likely leading to the execution of a secondary payload. The lack of readable document body text or scripts makes it difficult to determine the exact nature of the payload or its intended purpose.

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

  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
