T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking
T1204.002 Malicious File
The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data which is configured to automatically update via a URL moniker. This suggests the document is designed to exploit vulnerabilities in OLE object handling to download and execute a secondary payload. The heuristics strongly indicate a technique commonly used for initial access and payload delivery.
Heuristics 4
-
URL Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_URL_MONIKER_RELATEDRTF contains a URL Moniker GUID in OLE object context, but no decoded remote target was confirmed. Treat as related OLE2Link attack-surface evidence rather than proof of CVE-2017-0199 exploitation.
-
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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
