MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains OLE object data and triggers heuristics related to CVE-2017-8570, indicating it exploits this vulnerability. ClamAV identifies the file as Win.Trojan.PonyStealer-9831667-0, suggesting its purpose is to steal information. The embedded artifacts, particularly objdata_04_off00025124.bin, are flagged as suspicious and likely contain the stealer payload.

Heuristics 6

  • Composite Moniker — CVE-2017-8570 (drops SCT script) critical CVE related CVE_2017_8570
    RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the Composite Moniker — CVE-2017-8570 (drops SCT script) CLSID — the vulnerable control/moniker is embedded directly in the document's object stream, the delivery shape of this exploit. RTF objects auto-render when Word opens the file.
  • Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATED
    RTF contains Composite Moniker CLSID in OLE object context, but no nearby scriptlet/SCT payload was confirmed. Treat as related moniker attack-surface evidence rather than proof of CVE-2017-8570 exploitation.
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Dnyq-7541017-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Dnyq-7541017-0
  • \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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 5 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
