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

The RTF file contains OLE object data and exhibits characteristics of the CVE-2012-0158 vulnerability, indicating exploitation for client execution. The presence of excessive hex data within the OLE object suggests a hidden payload, and a suspicious executable is referenced via an unknown reputation URL. This points to a spearphishing attachment designed to exploit a known vulnerability and download a secondary payload.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~6497KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One 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.
  • 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.
