MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1559.001 Component Object Model and Distributed Component Object Model

The critical heuristic firing for CVE-2017-11882 indicates that this document exploits a known vulnerability in Microsoft Equation Editor. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution when the embedded OLE object is processed. The presence of an embedded OLE object further supports this attack vector. The document body content appears to be a fabricated fabric booking chart, likely a lure to entice the user to open the malicious document.

Heuristics 3

  • CVE-2017-11882 — Equation Editor FONT record overflow critical CVE likely CVE_2017_11882
    Equation Editor MTEF contains an overlong FONT typeface field, the vulnerable copy primitive for CVE-2017-11882. This is stronger evidence than the Equation Editor CLSID alone because it identifies the malformed record that drives code execution in EQNEDT32.EXE.
  • Equation Editor OLE object high CVE related OLE_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Embedded OLE object xl/embeddings/U2RG7Cv4.d0ua contains the Equation Editor CLSID, the legacy component exploited by CVE-2017-11882, CVE-2018-0802, and CVE-2018-0798.
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
