Malware Insights
The sample is an RTF file containing OLE object data and an embedded OLE object, with a high-confidence heuristic indicating that \objupdate forces OLE activation. This suggests an attempt to exploit a vulnerability within the RTF parsing or OLE object handling to achieve arbitrary code execution. The presence of embedded OLE object data, specifically decoded as 'rtf-objdata-decoded', is the primary indicator of the attack vector. Without further script content or specific URL IOCs, the exact payload delivery mechanism remains unclear, leading to a moderate confidence score.
Heuristics 3
-
\objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATERTF 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_OBJDATARTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
