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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data, triggering heuristics for CVE-2012-1856 (MSCOMCTL.Toolbar). This indicates the file is designed to exploit this vulnerability for client-side execution. The embedded object, objdata_00_off00000a54.bin, is a likely payload. The benign URLs extracted are not indicative of malicious activity.

Heuristics 4

  • MSCOMCTL.Toolbar — CVE-2012-0158 / CVE-2012-1856 high CVE related CVE_2012_1856
    RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the MSCOMCTL.Toolbar — CVE-2012-0158 / CVE-2012-1856 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
  • 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.
