Malware Insights
The RTF document contains multiple OLE object-related heuristics, including automatic linking and updates, indicating an attempt to exploit OLE vulnerabilities. The presence of ` ` and ` ` characters in the DOC BODY suggests potential obfuscation or malformed text, but the core content appears to be a formal letter related to personnel and insurance for a bank. The high-confidence heuristics strongly suggest that the embedded OLE objects are designed to be activated automatically upon opening the document, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.
Heuristics 5
-
Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATEDRTF 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_OBJAUTLINKRTF 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_OBJUPDATERTF 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_OBJDATARTF contains 4 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
