Malware Insights
The file is an RTF document containing OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this embedded object is designed to be activated automatically, which is a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities in document processing applications. While no specific exploit or payload is directly visible in the provided snippets, the presence of these heuristics strongly implies an attempt to leverage an Office vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, likely for downloading a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 2
-
\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 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
