Malware Insights
The sample is an RTF document that contains OLE object data and is configured to automatically update and activate the embedded object. This indicates a likely exploit attempt to execute arbitrary code. The presence of `RTF_OBJDATA`, `RTF_OBJAUTLINK`, and `RTF_OBJUPDATE` heuristics strongly suggests the document is designed to leverage OLE object vulnerabilities for malicious purposes, such as downloading and executing a second-stage payload. No document body text or scripts were extracted, limiting further analysis of the specific lure or payload.
Heuristics 3
-
Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINKRTF 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_OBJUPDATERTF 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_OBJDATARTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
