T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The sample is an RTF document identified as malicious due to the presence of an embedded OLE object and a critical heuristic firing for Equation Editor exploitation. Specifically, the ClamAV detection points to Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2018_0802-6825822-0, indicating exploitation of a vulnerability in the Equation Editor component. This technique is commonly used to achieve arbitrary code execution, often to download and run a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 6
-
Equation Editor CLSID critical RTF_EQUATION_EDITOREquation Editor OLE CLSID found inside an OLE object — exploited by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798

ClamAV: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2018_0802-6825822-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2018_0802-6825822-0
-
\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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
