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

The sample is an RTF document that contains OLE object data, triggering a high-severity heuristic for CVE-2012-0158, a known vulnerability in MSCOMCTL.ListView. The document also contains a lure instructing the user to enable editing, indicating a common malware dropper technique. The embedded URL points to a potential executable payload, suggesting the document's purpose is to exploit the vulnerability and download a secondary stage.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
  • 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.
    URL http://94.102.63.7/putty.exe
