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

The RTF file contains multiple embedded OLE objects, with heuristics indicating that \objupdate forces OLE activation. This suggests the file is designed to exploit vulnerabilities associated with OLE object handling within RTF documents. While no scripts were extracted, the presence of embedded OLE objects and the RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic strongly indicate a malicious intent to execute embedded code or exploit a vulnerability upon opening.

Heuristics 4

  • \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 12 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
