MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
The file is an RTF document containing an embedded OLE object that exploits the CVE-2017-11882 vulnerability. The document body contains a lure to 'Enable editing' to bypass security measures. The presence of the OLE object and the specific CVE exploit strongly indicate the document's purpose is to execute arbitrary code, likely for a follow-on download and execution stage.
Heuristics 4
-
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
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
