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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this object is automatically activated upon opening, likely leading to the execution of malicious code. The specific nature of the payload is not detailed, but the technique points towards exploiting document parsing vulnerabilities for initial execution.

Heuristics 2

  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE
