The RTF document contains multiple high-severity heuristics indicating the presence and automatic activation of OLE objects, specifically ".objupdate forces OLE activation". This suggests the document is designed to exploit vulnerabilities or execute embedded code upon opening. While no specific payload or URL was extracted, the technique strongly implies a downloader or exploit delivery mechanism. The lack of readable document body text and scripts prevents a more precise determination of the family or specific payload.

Heuristics 3

  • 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
