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

The RTF file contains OLE object data and triggers OLE activation via \objupdate, indicating an attempt to execute embedded content. The presence of RTF_OBJAUTLINK and RTF_OBJDATA heuristics strongly suggests a malicious OLE object is embedded within the document. While no specific script was extracted, the RTF structure and heuristic firings point towards a delivery mechanism for a secondary payload.

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
