MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object with data indicative of the Equation Editor vulnerability (CVE-2017-11882). The presence of RTF_OBJDATA, RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR, and RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristics, along with ClamAV detection for Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882, strongly suggests exploitation for client execution. No specific family could be identified, and no further IOCs were extracted.

Heuristics 4

  • Equation Editor CLSID critical RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Equation Editor OLE CLSID found inside an OLE object — exploited by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798
  • ClamAV: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6584355-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6584355-1
  • \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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
