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

The RTF file contains OLE object data and triggers heuristics for CVE-2017-8759 (SOAP Moniker RCE) and automatic OLE object updates. This indicates the file is designed to exploit a vulnerability to download and execute a secondary payload, likely delivered via spearphishing.

Heuristics 6

  • SOAP Moniker — CVE-2017-8759 (SOAP WSDL RCE) critical CVE related CVE_2017_8759
    RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the SOAP Moniker — CVE-2017-8759 (SOAP WSDL RCE) 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.
  • ClamAV: Rtf.Downloader.CVE_2017-6336326-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Downloader.CVE_2017-6336326-3
  • 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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • 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.
