MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OBJEMB heuristics. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that the embedded object is designed to be activated automatically, which is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. The objdata_00_off00000bc2.bin artifact is the decoded OLE object, likely containing the malicious executable.

Heuristics 3

  • \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
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
