MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.001 Component Object Model Hijacking

The RTF file contains multiple embedded OLE objects, with one specifically triggered by \objupdate. This suggests an attempt to exploit OLE object activation to execute malicious code. The document body is formatted as a meeting protocol, likely a lure to trick users into enabling content or interacting with the embedded objects.

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 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
