The RTF file contains OLE object data and an instruction to update the OLE object, indicating an attempt to execute embedded content. The heuristic 'SE_ENABLE_LURE' confirms that the document body instructs the user to enable editing and macros, a common social engineering tactic to bypass security measures and deliver a malicious payload.

Heuristics 3

  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE

  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
