T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data and specifically triggers heuristics related to Equation Editor and CVE-2017-11882. This indicates the file is designed to exploit this vulnerability for client-side execution. The presence of ".objupdate" further suggests an attempt to force OLE object activation. No specific family could be identified, but the exploit vector is clear.
Heuristics 5
-
Equation Editor CLSID critical CVE likely RTF_EQUATION_EDITOREquation Editor OLE CLSID found inside an OLE object — exploited by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798
-
CVE-2017-11882 — Equation Editor FONT record overflow critical CVE likely CVE_2017_11882Equation Editor MTEF contains an overlong FONT typeface field, the vulnerable copy primitive for CVE-2017-11882. This is stronger evidence than the Equation Editor CLSID alone because it identifies the malformed record that drives code execution in EQNEDT32.EXE.

-
\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
