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

The sample is an RTF document containing an embedded OLE object, as indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this object is designed to be automatically activated upon opening, which is a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities or delivering malicious payloads. The truncated document body and lack of script content prevent a more detailed analysis of the payload's intent, but the overall mechanism points to a malicious attachment designed to trigger further execution.

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
