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

The file is an RTF document that contains OLE object data and triggers an \objupdate heuristic, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE activation for code execution. The truncated document body does not provide further context, but the heuristics strongly suggest a vulnerability exploitation attack pattern. No scripts were extracted, and the family is unknown.

Heuristics 2

  • \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
