MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The RTF file contains embedded OLE objects that are configured for automatic updates, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities for client execution. The presence of URL monikers strongly suggests that the embedded object is designed to download and execute a secondary payload from a remote location. While no specific script was extracted, the RTF structure and OLE object behavior point towards a common malware delivery pattern.
Heuristics 4
-
URL Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_URL_MONIKER_RELATEDRTF contains a URL Moniker GUID in OLE object context, but no decoded remote target was confirmed. Treat as related OLE2Link attack-surface evidence rather than proof of CVE-2017-0199 exploitation.
-
Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINKRTF 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_OBJUPDATERTF 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_OBJDATARTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
