MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, specifically triggering heuristics related to Equation Editor vulnerabilities and OLE object activation. This strongly suggests an exploit targeting Microsoft Equation Editor to achieve arbitrary code execution. No document body or scripts were extracted, but the heuristics alone are sufficient to identify the attack vector.
Heuristics 4
-
Ole10Native stream in RTF OLE object high RTF_OLE10NATIVE_STREAMRTF contains an embedded OLE object with an Ole10Native stream. This is a strong payload-container signal and is related to Word/OLE exploit delivery, but it is not specific enough on its own to assign a CVE.
-
Equation Editor CLSID critical RTF_EQUATION_EDITOREquation Editor OLE CLSID found inside an OLE object — exploited by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798
-
\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 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
