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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects, and a ".objupdate" directive is present, indicating an attempt to activate these embedded objects. This strongly suggests the file is designed to exploit vulnerabilities or trick the user into executing embedded malicious content. No document body or script content was available for further analysis, limiting the ability to determine the specific payload or family.

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
