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

The RTF document contains OLE object data that is automatically linked and updated, indicating an attempt to execute embedded content upon opening. The heuristics RTF_OBJAUTLINK and RTF_OBJUPDATE strongly suggest that this mechanism is used to trigger malicious code execution. While no specific scripts were extracted, the OLE object's presence and activation methods point towards a downloader or exploit delivery pattern.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
