CVE_2023_36884
What it means
OOXML .rels file contains an auto-load relationship Target pointing to a remote .rtf URL.
Why it fires
CVE-2023-36884 (Storm-0978/RomCom) was exploited through specially crafted Office documents that led to remote RTF/MSHTML processing and payload delivery. The scanner now requires a non-hyperlink relationship that Office can auto-load (template/subdocument/frame/OLE/altChunk-style relationship) whose Target is an http:// or https:// URL ending in .rtf. Plain clickable hyperlinks to RTF files are not enough for this CVE rule.
