MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is an RTF document that contains an embedded OLE object, specifically targeting the Equation Editor vulnerability. The heuristics indicate that \objupdate forces OLE activation, suggesting it's designed to trigger an exploit. The extracted artifact 'objdata_00_off00000f30.bin' is likely the payload or a component thereof. The attack pattern is consistent with exploiting the Equation Editor to download and execute a secondary payload.
Heuristics 4
-
Split hex Equation Editor ProgID + OLE object critical RTF_EQUATION_EDITORRTF embeds the Equation.3 ProgID as hex bytes near OLE object activation and splits the byte stream with whitespace or an ignorable RTF group. This is an Equation Editor OLE activation surface commonly used by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 exploit documents.
-
\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.
