T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains OLE object data and triggers the CVE-2017-8570 vulnerability, which is known to drop SCT scripts. ClamAV identifies the file as Win.Malware.Nemesis-7647563-0, indicating it's a known malware variant. The exploitation likely leads to the execution of a malicious script, which in turn downloads and executes a further stage payload.

Heuristics 7

Composite Moniker — CVE-2017-8570 (drops SCT script) critical CVE related CVE_2017_8570

RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the Composite Moniker — CVE-2017-8570 (drops SCT script) 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.
Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high CVE related RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATED

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.
ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Myxah-7541011-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Myxah-7541011-0
