MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is an RTF document containing an embedded OLE object, specifically targeting the Equation Editor vulnerability. The ".objupdate" directive indicates that the embedded object is designed to be activated automatically, likely leading to the execution of malicious code. The presence of OLE object data and the specific RTF heuristics strongly suggest an exploit targeting Equation Editor, a common delivery mechanism for malware.
Heuristics 4
-
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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
