The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, specifically triggering critical heuristics related to the Equation Editor. The presence of \objupdate indicates that the embedded object is designed to be automatically activated upon opening the document, leading to the exploitation of the Equation Editor vulnerability. This is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads.
Heuristics 5
-
Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAMRTF contains an embedded OLE object with an Ole10Native stream. This is a strong payload-container signal and is related to Word/OLE exploit delivery, but it is not specific enough on its own to assign a CVE.
-
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 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
