MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains OLE object data and uses \objupdate to force OLE activation, indicating an attempt to execute embedded content. The decoded OLE object's Ole10Native stream further supports this. While no specific family is identified, the technique strongly suggests exploitation for client execution.

Heuristics 3

  • Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM
    RTF contains an embedded OLE object with an Ole10Native stream. This is a strong payload-container signal and is related to Word/OLE exploit delivery, but it is not specific enough on its own to assign a CVE.
  • \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
