The sample is an RTF document containing OLE object data and an embedded OLE object that is automatically linked and updated, indicating an attempt to execute embedded content. The document body contains a lure instructing the user to 'enable editing' and mentions financial statements and auditors, suggesting a pretext to bypass security measures. The heuristic SE_ENABLE_LURE confirms this social engineering tactic. The presence of OLE object manipulation suggests the document is designed to download and execute a secondary payload.
Heuristics 4
-
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
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
