T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.005 Visual Basic
The RTF document contains multiple OLE object embeddings and auto-linking, with an explicit instruction to 'Enable Editing'. This strongly suggests a lure to bypass macro security settings and execute embedded malicious content. The document body's garbled text and the 'Microsoft Office does not work in email Preview' message are consistent with a social engineering tactic to trick users into opening the file and enabling macros. No specific family could be identified, but the technique is common for macro-based downloaders.
Heuristics 6
-
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.
-
Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINKRTF 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_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 4 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
