MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an RTF document that contains embedded OLE objects, triggering heuristics for CVE-2012-0158, a known vulnerability in MSCOMCTL.ListView. This indicates the file is designed to exploit this vulnerability for client-side execution. The document body contains a generic request for apartment details, which is likely a lure to disguise the malicious intent of the embedded exploit. No scripts were extracted, and the primary threat is the exploitation of the RTF format itself.

Heuristics 5

  • MSCOMCTL.ListView — CVE-2012-0158 high CVE related CVE_2012_0158
    RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the MSCOMCTL.ListView — CVE-2012-0158 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.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • OlePres presentation stream in RTF OLE object medium RTF_OLEPRES_STREAM
    RTF contains an embedded OLE object with an OlePres presentation stream. OlePres is an OLE presentation marker and is not enough on its own to identify CVE-2025-21298.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
