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

The RTF document contains OLE object data and uses \objupdate to force OLE activation, indicating an attempt to execute embedded code. The high severity heuristics for RTF_OBJUPDATE and RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAM strongly suggest this malicious behavior. No specific family could be identified, and no direct IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted from the provided evidence.

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
