The RTF file contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating it's designed to activate embedded objects. The document body provides a lure about financial audits, instructing the user to 'enable editing', a common tactic to bypass security measures and allow malicious content to execute. This suggests the file is a dropper intended to download and run a secondary payload.

Heuristics 3

  • \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
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
