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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects that are automatically linked and updated, indicating an attempt to execute embedded content. The presence of RTF_OBJDATA, RTF_OBJUPDATE, and RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM heuristics strongly suggests that the file is designed to exploit OLE object activation to deliver a malicious payload. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear textual clues about the specific lure.

Heuristics 4

  • Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM
    RTF contains an embedded OLE object with an Ole10Native stream. This is a strong payload-container signal and is related to Word/OLE exploit delivery, but it is not specific enough on its own to assign a CVE.
  • 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 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
