T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information
The file is an RTF document identified as a dropper by ClamAV. It contains multiple embedded OLE objects with significant amounts of hex-encoded data, including a PE header, indicating the presence of a hidden executable payload. The use of ".objupdate" and composite monikers further supports its role as a dropper designed to execute embedded content.
Heuristics 10
-
Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATEDRTF 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: Rtf.Dropper.Agent-9965975-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Dropper.Agent-9965975-1
-
PE header (with DOS stub) in hex data critical RTF_MZ_HEXHex-encoded PE (MZ + DOS stub) found inside RTF — likely an embedded executable payload
-
\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.
-
Package object class high RTF_OBJCLASS_PACKAGEOLE Package object — can wrap arbitrary files
-
Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEXRTF contains ~1675KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
-
OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATARTF contains 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
-
Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml In RTF body
