MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object that triggers the CVE-2017-11882 vulnerability in Equation Editor. This vulnerability allows for the execution of arbitrary code, likely to download and run a secondary payload.

Heuristics 4

  • CVE-2017-11882 — Equation Editor FONT record overflow critical CVE likely CVE_2017_11882
