T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects and exploits CVE-2026-21514, a known vulnerability in Microsoft Word. It attempts to download a payload from http://www.insigniaadvertising.com.pk/bill/ using an INCLUDETEXT/INCLUDEPICTURE directive. ClamAV detections confirm the malicious nature, specifically identifying it as Doc.Exploit.CVE_2015_1641-6397417-0.

Heuristics 9

  • 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.
  • CVE-2026-21514 — Word/OLE security bypass in RTF high CVE likely CVE_2026_21514
    RTF contains a hidden \svb hex package with DrsE2oDoc and downRevStg drawing compatibility parts. This matches an observed CVE-2026-21514 exploitation shape that manipulates Word's internal document structure and trust decisions.
  • ClamAV: Doc.Exploit.CVE_2015_1641-6397417-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Exploit.CVE_2015_1641-6397417-0
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~1253KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
  • 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
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
