MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object that leverages the Equation Editor vulnerability (CVE-2017-11882). The ".objupdate" heuristic indicates that the embedded object is designed to activate automatically, triggering the exploit. The decoded object data suggests a PE file was embedded, likely serving as a secondary payload. No document body text was available for analysis, but the heuristics strongly indicate a malicious exploit delivery.
Heuristics 4
-
Decoded Equation Editor payload + PE critical RTF_EQUATION_EDITORRTF decodes to an Equation Editor ProgID adjacent to OLE activation and the same decoded object stream contains embedded PE bytes. This matches the Equation Editor exploit surface used by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 documents, while requiring payload evidence to avoid flagging benign Equation references.
-
\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
