MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF file contains multiple embedded OLE objects, with heuristics indicating the use of \objdata and \objupdate directives. This suggests the file is designed to exploit OLE object activation to execute arbitrary code. The presence of composite monikers further supports this, pointing towards a mechanism for loading and running external or embedded malicious components. No document body text was available for further context.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • \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 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
