MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains multiple embedded OLE objects and triggers a critical heuristic for CVE-2017-8759, indicating exploitation of MSXML SAX OLE activation. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution when the document is opened. No document body text or scripts were extracted, but the presence of the exploit is sufficient evidence of malicious intent.

Heuristics 4

  • CVE-2017-8759 — MSXML SAX OLE activation critical CVE likely CVE_2017_8759
    RTF contains a hex-encoded OLE1 object for Msxml2.SAXXMLReader.6.0 followed by an embedded OLE compound document, and the document requests OLE activation. This matches the RTF staging shape used for CVE-2017-8759 SOAP/WSDL parser code injection.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 9 \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.
