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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OBJEMB heuristics. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that the embedded object is configured to automatically execute when the document is opened. While no specific script or payload was directly extracted, the OLE activation mechanism strongly implies an attempt to deliver and execute a secondary payload. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear textual lures.

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
