MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object that exploits the CVE-2017-11882 vulnerability in the Equation Editor. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution when the object is activated. No scripts were extracted, and the document body appears to be benign tabular data, suggesting the exploit is the primary malicious component.
Heuristics 7
-
CVE-2017-11882 — Equation Editor FONT record overflow critical CVE likely CVE_2017_11882Equation 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.
