The RTF document contains OLE object data and uses an \objupdate directive, indicating an attempt to exploit embedded OLE objects. This is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. While no specific script was extracted, the heuristics strongly suggest the file is designed to trigger an exploit, likely leading to the download and execution of a second-stage payload. The SHA256 hash is provided as a primary IOC.

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
