MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The RTF file contains multiple embedded OLE objects, with heuristics indicating the use of ".objupdate" and Composite Monikers, suggesting an attempt to exploit OLE object activation. ClamAV detections identify the embedded content as 'Xls.Malware.Sload-7135989-0', a known malicious variant. The primary attack vector is likely spearphishing, with the embedded OLE object serving as the exploit mechanism.
Heuristics 6
-
Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATEDRTF 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.

ClamAV: Xls.Malware.Sload-7135989-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Malware.Sload-7135989-0
-
\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 5 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
-
OlePres presentation stream in RTF OLE object medium RTF_OLEPRES_STREAMRTF contains an embedded OLE object with an OlePres presentation stream. OlePres is an OLE presentation marker and is not enough on its own to identify CVE-2025-21298.
