T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information
T1137.003 DLL Side-Loading
T1204.002 Malicious File
The OOXML document contains an altChunk that imports an RTF file named 'Azerbaijan.rtf'. This RTF file contains an OLE object that is configured to auto-update, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The RTF file itself contains excessive hex data and a PE header, suggesting it is an embedded executable. This mechanism is commonly used to deliver and execute a secondary payload.
Heuristics 9
-
Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATED(in altChunk RTF word/Azerbaijan.rtf) RTF 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.
-
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.
-
PE header (with DOS stub) in hex data critical RTF_MZ_HEX(in altChunk RTF word/Azerbaijan.rtf) Hex-encoded PE (MZ + DOS stub) found inside RTF — likely an embedded executable payload
-
altChunk RTF auto-updates embedded executable object critical OOXML_ALTCHUNK_RTF_AUTOUPDATE_PEOOXML document imports an embedded RTF through altChunk; the RTF contains OLE object data, forces object update, and carries a hex-encoded PE payload. This is a stronger compound exploit-loader shape than a generic altChunk RTF wrapper, but it is not tied to a single CVE unless the nested RTF object primitive also matches one.
-
\objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE(in altChunk RTF word/Azerbaijan.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.
-
Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX(in altChunk RTF word/Azerbaijan.rtf) RTF contains ~1049KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
-
OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA(in altChunk RTF word/Azerbaijan.rtf) RTF contains 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB(in altChunk RTF word/Azerbaijan.rtf) RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
-
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://opendope.org/xpaths
