Heuristics 5

  • MSCOMCTL.TreeView — CVE-2012-0158 high CVE related CVE_2012_0158
    RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the MSCOMCTL.TreeView — CVE-2012-0158 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.
  • CVE-2012-0158 RTF embedded encrypted payload high CVE related RTF_CVE_2012_0158_EMBEDDED_PAYLOAD
    The CVE-2012-0158 document embeds a large high-entropy binary blob — the encrypted/packed second-stage payload the exploit shellcode drops and runs. Hex-encoded object data cannot reach this entropy, so the region is genuine binary, not markup. The payload is encrypted in the file, so it is surfaced as an IOC (offset, size, SHA-256) rather than a decoded executable.
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 4 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.
