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

The RTF file contains multiple indicators of exploitation, including OLE object data, Equation Editor CLSID, and an embedded remote URL. The heuristic RTF_INCLUDE_REMOTE points to http://test1.ru/newbuild/t.php?thread=0&stats=send, which is likely used to download a secondary payload. ClamAV detection as Win.Trojan.Nemesis-9845795-0 further supports the malicious nature of this file.

Heuristics 10

  • Equation Editor CLSID critical CVE likely RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Equation Editor OLE CLSID found inside an OLE object — exploited by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798
  • Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATED
    RTF 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: Win.Trojan.Nemesis-9845795-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Nemesis-9845795-0
  • PE header (with DOS stub) in hex data critical RTF_MZ_HEX
    Hex-encoded PE (MZ + DOS stub) found inside RTF — likely an embedded executable payload
  • \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.
  • INCLUDETEXT/INCLUDEPICTURE remote URL high RTF_INCLUDE_REMOTE
    RTF document uses INCLUDETEXT or INCLUDEPICTURE with an http:// URL — Word can fetch the remote content on open depending on Office version and external-content settings, enabling remote template injection, NTLM capture via redirects, or payload delivery
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 7 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • 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.
  • 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.
    URL http://test1.ru/newbuild/t.php?thread=0&stats=send In RTF body
