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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects that are automatically linked and updated, indicating an attempt to execute embedded code. The presence of URL Monikers suggests the OLE object is configured to fetch external content. While no scripts were directly extracted, the heuristics strongly suggest a malicious document designed to exploit OLE object activation for payload delivery, likely via a spearphishing attachment.

Heuristics 6

  • URL Moniker in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_URL_MONIKER_RELATED
    RTF contains a URL Moniker GUID in OLE object context, but no decoded remote target was confirmed. Treat as related OLE2Link attack-surface evidence rather than proof of CVE-2017-0199 exploitation.
  • Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINK
    RTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
  • \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.
  • NOP-equivalent sled detected medium SC_NOP_EQUIV_SLED

  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • 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.
