MITRE ATT&CK

T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains multiple indicators of OLE object manipulation, specifically related to CVE-2017-8570, which is known to drop SCT scripts. The document body explicitly instructs the user to 'download the document and click Enable Editing', a common lure for malicious macro execution. The presence of OLE objects and the lure suggest the file is designed to exploit vulnerabilities and execute a secondary payload, likely a script.

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.
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 4 \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
