T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The RTF document contains multiple OLE objects and specifically triggers ".objupdate" which forces OLE activation. The critical heuristic "RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR" indicates exploitation of the Equation Editor vulnerability. The embedded OLE objects, particularly objdata_00_off00000a86.bin and objdata_02_off00008a13.bin, are likely payloads. The DOC BODY contains what appears to be obfuscated VBScript code, suggesting the embedded object is a VBScript downloader or executor.
Heuristics 5
-
Split hex Equation Editor ProgID + OLE object critical RTF_EQUATION_EDITORRTF embeds the Equation.3 ProgID as hex bytes near OLE object activation and splits the byte stream with whitespace or an ignorable RTF group. This is an Equation Editor OLE activation surface commonly used by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 exploit documents.
-
\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 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
-
Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
