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

The sample exploits CVE-2023-36884 by referencing a remote template located at http://192.168.1.101/jspt.rtf. This technique is commonly used to download and execute malicious content from a controlled server. The specific exploit and remote template loading indicate a high likelihood of a secondary payload delivery.

Heuristics 4

  • CVE-2023-36884 — external RTF auto-load relationship critical CVE likely CVE_2023_36884
    Document auto-load relationship references a remote RTF file (http://192.168.1.101/jspt.rtf), matching the stronger Storm-0978/RomCom external-RTF delivery shape. Plain clickable hyperlinks are not enough for this CVE rule.
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://192.168.1.101/jspt.rtf) — a common remote-template-injection vector used by Hancitor, Emotet and many phishing campaigns. Word can fetch and apply the remote template; macros in that template may execute depending on Office policy and trust state.
  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: http://192.168.1.101/jspt.rtf
  • 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.
