The RTF file contains OLE object data and triggers automatic updates and activation, indicating it's designed to execute embedded content. The heuristics strongly suggest exploitation of OLE object vulnerabilities for code execution. While no specific payload or second-stage URL was directly extracted, the mechanism points towards a downloader or initial access vector.

Heuristics 3

    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
