MITRE ATT&CK
T1559 Component Object Model Hijacking T1559.001 Component Object Model Hijacking: OLE

The RTF file contains OLE object data and heuristics indicate that \objupdate forces OLE activation. This suggests the file is designed to exploit OLE object handling to execute embedded content. The presence of Ole10Native stream further supports the embedding of an executable or script.

Heuristics 3

  • Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM
    RTF contains an embedded OLE object with an Ole10Native stream. This is a strong payload-container signal and is related to Word/OLE exploit delivery, but it is not specific enough on its own to assign a CVE.
  • \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
