The RTF document contains OLE object data and is configured to automatically update and activate these objects, indicating an attempt to exploit embedded vulnerabilities. The presence of `RTF_OBJDATA`, `RTF_OBJAUTLINK`, and `RTF_OBJUPDATE` heuristics strongly suggests a malicious RTF exploit. The extracted artifact `objdata_00_off0000122b.bin` is likely the payload or exploit code. Without further analysis of the embedded object, the exact family remains unknown, but the attack pattern points towards a classic RTF exploit delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 4

  • Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINK
    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
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
