MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The sample is an RTF document containing embedded OLE object data, specifically triggering heuristics related to the Equation Editor vulnerability (CVE-2017-11882). This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution, which is the primary mechanism for this attack. The ClamAV detection name further confirms the exploit. The attack pattern is consistent with a malicious attachment delivered via spearphishing, aiming to exploit this known vulnerability to gain initial execution.
Heuristics 5
-
Equation Editor CLSID critical CVE likely RTF_EQUATION_EDITOREquation Editor OLE CLSID found inside an OLE object — exploited by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798
-
Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAMRTF contains an embedded OLE object with an Ole10Native stream. This is a strong payload-container signal and is related to Word/OLE exploit delivery, but it is not specific enough on its own to assign a CVE.
-
ClamAV: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6584355-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6584355-1
-
\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
