MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The file is an RTF document that contains embedded OLE objects, triggered by \objupdate directives. This indicates an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities or trick the user into activating embedded content. The heuristics strongly suggest that the RTF object data is intended to be executed, likely leading to a second-stage payload. No document body or script content was available for further analysis, limiting the ability to determine the exact nature of the payload or specific attack vector.

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
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
