MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The RTF file contains multiple OLE object data sections, with high confidence heuristics indicating the presence of embedded OLE objects and excessive hex data. Specifically, the CVE-2012-0158 heuristic firing strongly suggests exploitation of a vulnerability related to MSCOMCTL.ListView, which allows for arbitrary code execution. The embedded artifacts are likely payloads or exploit components.
Heuristics 6
-
MSCOMCTL.ListView — CVE-2012-0158 high CVE_2012_0158RTF \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_HEXRTF contains ~1007KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
-
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.
