MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.001 Component Object Model Hijacking

The presence of an Equation Editor OLE object strongly indicates the use of an exploit targeting this component. The heuristic 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' suggests a social engineering tactic where the document instructs the user to open a password-protected archive, likely containing the next stage of the attack. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 3

  • Equation Editor OLE object high CVE related OLE_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Contains Equation Editor object — related to CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 exploitation, but CLSID presence alone is not the malformed MTEF exploit primitive.
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
