MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The RTF file contains multiple indicators of exploitation, specifically referencing CVE-2026-21509 and CVE-2026-21514, which are known vulnerabilities related to RTF parsing and OLE object handling in Microsoft Office. The presence of large, hex-encoded OLE object data within objdata sections strongly suggests the embedding of a malicious payload. The embedded URL http://192.168.217.250/scr2.rss is likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The document body content appears to be a lure, discussing EU/COREPER topics related to Ukraine, to trick users into opening the malicious RTF.

Heuristics 7

  • CVE-2026-21509 — Shell.Explorer.1 CLSID in RTF critical CVE related CVE_2026_21509
    RTF document contains the Shell.Explorer.1 CLSID {EAB22AC3-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B} associated with CVE-2026-21509 (OLE/COM Killbit / Protected View bypass). Actively exploited in the wild.
  • CVE-2026-21514 — Word/OLE security bypass in RTF high CVE likely CVE_2026_21514
    RTF document contains an embedded Word package with a webSettings frame relationship to a local Windows diagnostics XML target. That matches observed CVE-2026-21514 exploitation, where crafted Word/OLE metadata bypasses Office security decisions when opened.
  • ClamAV: Win.Exploit.CVE_2026_21514-10059348-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Exploit.CVE_2026_21514-10059348-0
  • Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEX
    RTF contains ~1689KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 4 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • OlePres presentation stream in RTF OLE object medium RTF_OLEPRES_STREAM
    RTF contains an embedded OLE object with an OlePres presentation stream. OlePres is an OLE presentation marker and is not enough on its own to identify CVE-2025-21298.
  • 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.
    URL http://192.168.217.250/scr2.rss
