T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking
The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, specifically triggering heuristics related to Equation Editor and OLE activation. This strongly suggests the exploitation of a known vulnerability within the Equation Editor component to achieve arbitrary code execution upon opening the document.
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
