MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

The file is an RTF document that exploits CVE-2017-8759 and CVE-2026-21509, indicating an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The presence of OLE object data and excessive hex data suggests a hidden payload. The embedded URL http://192.168.217.250/scr2.rss is likely used to download a second-stage payload. The document body content appears to be a weather report, likely a lure.

Heuristics 9

  • CVE-2017-8759 — MSXML SAX OLE activation critical CVE likely CVE_2017_8759
    RTF contains a hex-encoded OLE1 object for Msxml2.SAXXMLReader.6.0 followed by an embedded OLE compound document, and the document requests OLE activation. This matches the RTF staging shape used for CVE-2017-8759 SOAP/WSDL parser code injection.
  • 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 ~2133KB 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
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • 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
