T1204 Malicious Link
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
The sample utilizes an altChunk to import an RTF document, which in turn contains an OLE object. This OLE object is automatically linked and configured to update, exploiting CVE-2017-0199 to fetch and execute a payload from the URL http://74.50.94.156/MSHTML_C7/start.xml. This technique is commonly used by macro-based malware to download and execute second-stage malicious content.
Heuristics 7
-
CVE-2017-0199 (OLE2Link / remote URL Moniker) critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199(in altChunk RTF word/afchunk.rtf) RTF contains a URL Moniker OLE link whose decoded target is remote. Office can fetch and process the response through the CVE-2017-0199 OLE2Link attack path, but the server-side content type is not proven statically.
-
altChunk imports embedded RTF (RTF injection) critical OOXML_ALTCHUNK_RTFDocument inlines an embedded RTF via an aFChunk relationship and a <w:altChunk> body element. This is the canonical RTF-injection wrapper used to smuggle RTF exploits (Equation Editor / URL Moniker / objdata) past DOCX-only scanners. Word opens the wrapper and executes the RTF inline. Recursing into the RTF for the exact exploit primitive.

ClamAV: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_0199-6335035-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_0199-6335035-0
-
Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINK(in altChunk RTF word/afchunk.rtf) 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(in altChunk RTF word/afchunk.rtf) 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(in altChunk RTF word/afchunk.rtf) RTF contains 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://74.50.94.156/MSHTML_C7/start.xml
