MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.001 PowerShell
The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object that exploits CVE-2017-11882 in Equation Editor. This exploit likely facilitates the execution of a secondary payload, as indicated by the detection of shellcode candidate regions and command strings within extracted artifacts. The ClamAV detection name 'Win.Dropper.Ursu-6848742-0' further supports the dropper functionality.
Heuristics 12
-
Equation Editor CLSID critical CVE likely RTF_EQUATION_EDITOREquation Editor OLE CLSID found inside an OLE object — exploited by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798
-
CVE-2017-11882 — Equation Editor FONT record overflow critical CVE likely CVE_2017_11882Equation Editor MTEF contains an overlong FONT typeface field, the vulnerable copy primitive for CVE-2017-11882. This is stronger evidence than the Equation Editor CLSID alone because it identifies the malformed record that drives code execution in EQNEDT32.EXE.
-
ClamAV: Win.Dropper.Ursu-6848742-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Dropper.Ursu-6848742-0
-
PE header (with DOS stub) in hex data critical RTF_MZ_HEXHex-encoded PE (MZ + DOS stub) found inside RTF — likely an embedded executable payload
-
\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.
-
Package object class high RTF_OBJCLASS_PACKAGEOLE Package object — can wrap arbitrary files
-
Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEXRTF contains ~1220KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
-
Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
-
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
-
OlePres presentation stream in RTF OLE object medium RTF_OLEPRES_STREAMRTF 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.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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://www.usertrust.com1 In RTF body
- http://ocsp.usertrust.com0In RTF body
- http://crl.usertrust.com/UTN-USERFirst-Object.crl05In RTF body
