MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects that are automatically linked and updated, indicating an attempt to execute embedded content. The heuristics RTF_OBJDATA, RTF_OBJAUTLINK, and RTF_OBJUPDATE strongly suggest that the file is designed to exploit OLE object activation mechanisms. While no specific script was extracted, the OLE object activation is a common technique for delivering secondary payloads.

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
