MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects and exhibits characteristics of CVE-2017-8570, which is known to drop SCT scripts. The presence of a PE header in hex data and a remote URL (http://test1.ru/newbuild/xxt.php?thread=0&stats=send) strongly suggests that this file is a dropper designed to download and execute a secondary payload. ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as Win.Dropper.Nemesis-6646739-0.

Heuristics 10

  • 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.Dropper.Nemesis-6646739-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Dropper.Nemesis-6646739-0
  • PE header (with DOS stub) in hex data critical RTF_MZ_HEX
    Hex-encoded PE (MZ + DOS stub) found inside RTF — likely an embedded executable payload
  • \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.
  • INCLUDETEXT/INCLUDEPICTURE remote URL high RTF_INCLUDE_REMOTE
    RTF document uses INCLUDETEXT or INCLUDEPICTURE with an http:// URL — Word can fetch the remote content on open depending on Office version and external-content settings, enabling remote template injection, NTLM capture via redirects, or payload delivery
  • 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 6 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
