MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF document contains OLE object data and is weaponized to exploit CVE-2017-0199. This exploit is used to automatically link and update an OLE object, which forces the download and execution of a HTA file from the URL https://a.doko.moe/kmapsz.hta. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide further context on the payload's intent.

    RTF contains a URL Moniker OLE link to a script/HTA/template-style remote loader, matching the tighter static CVE-2017-0199 shape.
  • 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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • 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.
