T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF document contains an embedded OLE object that triggers a critical vulnerability, CVE-2017-11882, in Microsoft Equation Editor. This vulnerability allows for the execution of arbitrary code on the victim's machine, likely to download and run a secondary payload.

Heuristics 3
