MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF document contains OLE object data and uses an \objupdate directive, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE object activation. This suggests the file is designed to execute arbitrary code when opened, likely leading to a second-stage payload. No specific family could be identified.

Heuristics 2

  • \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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
