MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM heuristics. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that these embedded objects are designed to be activated automatically, which is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. The presence of an embedded OLE object, specifically a decoded OLE object of 4177 bytes, is the primary indicator of malicious activity.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • \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
