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

The RTF document contains OLE object data and triggers a high-severity heuristic for CVE-2012-0158, indicating exploitation of a vulnerability in MSCOMCTL.ListView. This suggests the file is designed to execute arbitrary code upon opening, likely delivered as a spearphishing attachment. The embedded artifact 'objdata_00_off000013c5.bin' is a shellcode candidate.

Heuristics 5

  • MSCOMCTL.ListView — CVE-2012-0158 high CVE related CVE_2012_0158
    RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the MSCOMCTL.ListView — CVE-2012-0158 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: Win.Trojan.TerminatorRat-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.TerminatorRat-1
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 5 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
  • 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.
