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

The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects and triggers the CVE-2012-0158 vulnerability. It also includes a remote URL, suggesting it attempts to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of OLE objects and the specific CVE indicate a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.

Heuristics 7

  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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
