The RTF document contains multiple OLE objects, with specific heuristics indicating the use of ".objupdate" and Composite Monikers, strongly suggesting an exploit targeting OLE object activation. This mechanism is commonly used to deliver and execute malicious payloads. No scripts were extracted, and the document body contained only formatting information, limiting further analysis of the specific lure.

Heuristics 4

  • 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
