MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: Malicious File T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell

The file is an RTF document that leverages the CVE-2017-8570 vulnerability. This exploit is designed to activate an embedded OLE object, which in turn downloads and executes a JavaScript file from the URL http://iraniansk.com/taskmgr.js. The presence of multiple high and critical heuristic firings related to OLE object activation and the specific CVE strongly indicates this malicious behavior.

Heuristics 7

  • CVE-2017-8570 (Composite Moniker + scriptlet payload) critical CVE likely CVE_2017_8570
    RTF contains Composite Moniker CLSID together with nearby scriptlet/SCT payload evidence, matching the CVE-2017-8570 exploit shape.
  • ClamAV: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_8570-6596183-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_8570-6596183-0
  • Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINK
    RTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE
    RTF 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_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • 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.
