MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 User Execution: Malicious Link T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Exploitation for Client Execution: Visual Basic

The RTF document contains multiple OLE objects, including automatically linked and updated objects, which are designed to be activated by the user. The presence of the SE_ENABLE_LURE heuristic indicates the document likely contains instructions to enable macros or content, a common technique for malware droppers. The embedded OLE objects are the primary mechanism for delivering the malicious payload, though the specific nature of the payload cannot be determined from the provided evidence.

Heuristics 6

  • 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.
  • Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINK
    RTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE
    RTF contains \objupdate — forces automatic OLE object instantiation when the document is opened, bypassing user interaction. Almost exclusively seen in Equation Editor exploit documents.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
