T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The critical heuristic 'RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR' and the ClamAV detection 'Doc.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6934206-0' strongly indicate exploitation of the CVE-2017-11882 vulnerability in Microsoft Equation Editor. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution, which is typically used to download and run a second-stage payload. The presence of OLE object data further supports the exploitation vector.
