The RTF document contains critical vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-8759, CVE-2023-21716) that are exploited via OLE object data and excessive hex encoding. Heuristics indicate the use of WinExec, CreateProcess, ShellExecute, cmd.exe, PowerShell, wscript, certutil, and bitsadmin, suggesting a multi-stage download and execution process. The document body also contains suspicious URLs and instructions that could lure users into executing malicious commands.
Heuristics 22
-
CVE-2017-8759 — MSXML SAX OLE activation critical CVE likely CVE_2017_8759RTF 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-2023-21716 — \fonttbl with 32768 entries critical CVE exact CVE_2023_21716RTF font table contains 32768 font entries, which is highly anomalous — CVE-2023-21716 triggers a heap buffer overflow in Word's RTF font table parser when the number of entries is very large (exploitable from ~32768 entries). This document is suspicious.
-
URL Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_URL_MONIKER_RELATEDRTF contains a URL Moniker GUID in OLE object context, but no decoded remote target was confirmed. Treat as related OLE2Link attack-surface evidence rather than proof of CVE-2017-0199 exploitation.
-
Reference to WinExec API high SC_STR_WINEXECReference to WinExec API
-
Reference to CreateProcess API high SC_STR_CREATEPROCESSReference to CreateProcess API
-
Reference to ShellExecute API high SC_STR_SHELLEXECReference to ShellExecute API
-
Suspicious cmd.exe invocation with execution flag high SC_STR_CMDSuspicious cmd.exe invocation with execution flag
-
Reference to PowerShell high SC_STR_POWERSHELLReference to PowerShell
-
Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPTReference to Windows Script Host
-
Reference to certutil (download/decode) high SC_STR_CERTUTILReference to certutil (download/decode)
-
Reference to bitsadmin (download) high SC_STR_BITSADMINReference to bitsadmin (download)
-
Reference to LoadLibrary API high SC_STR_LOADLIBRARYReference to LoadLibrary API
-
Reference to GetProcAddress API high SC_STR_GETPROCADDRESSReference to GetProcAddress API
-
Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEXRTF contains ~1167KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
-
Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LUREDocument tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
-
LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMANDExtracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
-
Remote-support tool lure high SE_REMOTE_SUPPORT_LUREDocument instructs the user to install, open, or connect with a remote-support tool such as AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Quick Assist, or ScreenConnect — high-risk in an unsolicited document
-
x86 push-string-call medium SC_PUSH_STRINGShellcode-style PUSH imm32 sequence builds an execution, network, or Windows API string on the stack
-
OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATARTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
-
OlePres presentation stream in RTF OLE object medium RTF_OLEPRES_STREAMRTF 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_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://www.schmidhorst.de/regdom
