T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.003 Windows Command Shell
The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object with a split Equation Editor ProgID, indicating exploitation of CVE-2017-11882. The \objupdate directive forces OLE activation, leading to the execution of arbitrary code. The extracted object data is highly suspicious and likely contains the malicious payload. The file is classified as malicious with high confidence.
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
