MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains an OLE object that exploits CVE-2017-0199 to fetch a remote document from http://192.168.56.1/logo.doc. This indicates the file is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, likely leveraging the embedded OLE object for initial execution. No scripts were extracted, but the exploit itself is sufficient evidence of malicious intent.

Heuristics 3

  • CVE-2017-0199 (OLE2Link / remote URL Moniker) critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199
    RTF contains a URL Moniker OLE link whose decoded target is remote. Office can fetch and process the response through the CVE-2017-0199 OLE2Link attack path, but the server-side content type is not proven statically.
  • 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.
