MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 User Execution: Malicious Link
T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.005 Command and Scripting Interpreter: Visual Basic
The RTF document contains multiple OLE objects and uses a common lure to trick users into enabling editing, which likely triggers the embedded objects. The heuristics indicate that the OLE objects are activated via \objupdate and composite monikers, suggesting an attempt to execute embedded code or launch external resources. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of OLE objects and the lure strongly suggest a malicious intent to execute arbitrary code upon user interaction.
Heuristics 7
-
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.
-
\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.
-
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
-
OlePres presentation stream in RTF OLE object medium RTF_OLEPRES_STREAMRTF 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.
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
-
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.
