MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The critical heuristic firing indicates the presence of the CVE-2017-11882 vulnerability within an embedded Equation Editor OLE object. This vulnerability is commonly exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution. The embedded OLE object itself is a key indicator of the attack vector.

Heuristics 3

  • CVE-2017-11882 — Equation Editor FONT record overflow critical CVE likely CVE_2017_11882
    Equation 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.
  • Equation Editor OLE object high CVE related OLE_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Embedded OLE object xl/embeddings/ok.bg0 contains the Equation Editor CLSID, the legacy component exploited by CVE-2017-11882, CVE-2018-0802, and CVE-2018-0798.
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
