MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is identified as malicious due to critical heuristic firings indicating the exploitation of CVE-2017-11882 via Microsoft Equation Editor. The presence of OLE object data and an embedded OLE object further supports this. The ClamAV detection signature directly names the exploit, confirming the attack vector.

Heuristics 6

  • Equation Editor CLSID critical RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Equation Editor OLE CLSID found inside an OLE object — exploited by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798
  • ClamAV: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6584355-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6584355-1
  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE

  • OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
