MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
The sample is an RTF document that leverages the Equation Editor vulnerability (CVE-2018-0802) to execute arbitrary code. The presence of OLE object data and automatic linking further indicates an exploit attempt. The ClamAV detection signature directly names the CVE, confirming the exploitation vector. No scripts were extracted, but the exploit itself is sufficient to deliver a malicious 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
-
Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINKRTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
-
\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
-
