MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The RTF file contains multiple high-severity heuristic firings indicating the presence of embedded OLE objects with excessive hex-encoded data. The \objupdate directive suggests an attempt to force OLE activation, likely to execute a hidden payload. The large size and entropy of the decoded OLE object further support the hypothesis that it contains a malicious payload. The file's SHA256 hash is included as an IOC.
Heuristics 4
-
Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAMRTF 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_OBJUPDATERTF contains \objupdate — forces automatic OLE object instantiation when the document is opened, bypassing user interaction. Almost exclusively seen in Equation Editor exploit documents.
-
Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEXRTF contains ~5000KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
-
OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATARTF contains 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
