MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE object activation for code execution. A shellcode candidate region was also identified within an embedded OLE object. The document body consists of repetitive numeric strings, offering no contextual clues, thus the attack pattern is inferred from the OLE exploitation.

Heuristics 3

  • \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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.

Extracted artifacts 1
