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

The RTF document contains a large OLE object with excessive hex-encoded data, indicating a hidden payload. Heuristics for RTF_OBJDATA, RTF_OBJAUTLINK, and RTF_OBJUPDATE suggest that the embedded OLE object is designed to be automatically activated upon opening the document. This points to a delivery mechanism that leverages OLE object vulnerabilities to execute a secondary payload, likely downloaded or extracted from the objdata section.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~1118KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
  • 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.
