MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking

The RTF document contains OLE objects with composite monikers, which are indicative of the CVE-2017-8570 vulnerability. This vulnerability allows for the dropping and execution of a script, likely a second-stage payload. The embedded OLE objects and the specific heuristic firings strongly suggest this attack vector.

Heuristics 6

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.
\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
