The file is an RTF document that leverages multiple critical vulnerabilities including CVE-2017-8759, CVE-2026-21509, and CVE-2026-21514, indicating it's designed to exploit security flaws in Microsoft Office applications. The presence of embedded OLE objects and the detection by ClamAV as Win.Exploit further support this. The embedded URL http://192.168.217.250/scr2.rss is likely used to download a secondary payload, which is a common technique for exploit-based documents.

Heuristics 8

  • CVE-2017-8759 — MSXML SAX OLE activation critical CVE likely CVE_2017_8759
    RTF contains a hex-encoded OLE1 object for Msxml2.SAXXMLReader.6.0 followed by an embedded OLE compound document, and the document requests OLE activation. This matches the RTF staging shape used for CVE-2017-8759 SOAP/WSDL parser code injection.
  • CVE-2026-21509 — Shell.Explorer.1 CLSID in RTF critical CVE related CVE_2026_21509
    RTF document contains the Shell.Explorer.1 CLSID {EAB22AC3-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B} associated with CVE-2026-21509 (OLE/COM Killbit / Protected View bypass). Actively exploited in the wild.
  • CVE-2026-21514 — Word/OLE security bypass in RTF high CVE likely CVE_2026_21514
    RTF document contains an embedded Word package with a webSettings frame relationship to a local Windows diagnostics XML target. That matches observed CVE-2026-21514 exploitation, where crafted Word/OLE metadata bypasses Office security decisions when opened.
  • ClamAV: Win.Exploit.CVE_2026_21514-10059348-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Exploit.CVE_2026_21514-10059348-0
  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 4 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • OlePres presentation stream in RTF OLE object medium RTF_OLEPRES_STREAM
    RTF 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.
  • 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.
    URL http://192.168.217.250/scr2.rss
