MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.001 PowerShell
The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object that leverages the Equation Editor vulnerability (RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR). The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic indicates that this object is designed to be activated automatically, leading to the execution of embedded code. The extracted objdata artifact suggests a secondary payload was likely dropped. Without further analysis of the dropped artifact or script content, the specific family and full execution chain remain unknown.
Heuristics 4
-
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
-
\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
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
