T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer
The file is an RTF document containing embedded OLE objects, specifically triggering critical heuristics for Equation Editor exploitation and OLE object updates. This indicates the document is designed to exploit a vulnerability, likely CVE-2017-11882, to achieve code execution. The embedded OLE object data, though truncated, suggests the potential for downloading and executing a secondary payload, aligning with common malware delivery techniques.
Heuristics 3
-
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 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
