MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The RTF file contains OLE object data and an automatically linked OLE object that is updated, suggesting an embedded malicious component. The heuristic 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' indicates the document's intent to trick the user into opening a password-protected archive, which is a common tactic to bypass gateway security. The embedded artifact 'objdata_00_off000078f1.bin' is likely the payload or a component thereof.

Heuristics 6

  • 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.
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.
