This RTF document exploits the CVE-2017-8759 vulnerability, which is related to SOAP Moniker processing. The presence of OLE object data and automatic linking suggests an attempt to embed and activate malicious content. The ClamAV detection confirms this is a downloader, likely to fetch and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 6

  • SOAP Moniker — CVE-2017-8759 (SOAP WSDL RCE) critical CVE related CVE_2017_8759
    RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the SOAP Moniker — CVE-2017-8759 (SOAP WSDL RCE) 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.
  • ClamAV: Rtf.Downloader.CVE_2017-6336326-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Downloader.CVE_2017-6336326-3
  • Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINK
    RTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
  • \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 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.
