MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The RTF document contains OLE object data and triggers heuristics related to CVE-2017-8570, which is known to drop SCT scripts. The document body includes a lure instructing the user to 'Enable Editing', a common tactic to bypass macro security. This suggests the file is designed to exploit this vulnerability to execute a secondary payload.
Heuristics 7
-
Composite Moniker — CVE-2017-8570 (drops SCT script) critical CVE_2017_8570RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the Composite Moniker — CVE-2017-8570 (drops SCT script) 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.
-
Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATEDRTF 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_OBJUPDATERTF 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_OBJDATARTF contains 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
-
Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
