The RTF document contains multiple high-severity heuristics indicating the presence of OLE object data that is automatically linked and updated, suggesting an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded OLE object data, decoded as objdata_00_off00000fa1.bin, is a strong indicator of malicious intent. While no specific script was extracted, the RTF object manipulation points towards a delivery mechanism for further malicious payloads.

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.
