MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The presence of an Equation Editor OLE object and a suspicious extracted artifact strongly suggests exploitation of a vulnerability within the Equation Editor component. The 'x86 GetPC stub' heuristic further indicates code execution capabilities. This points to a malicious document designed to exploit this vulnerability, likely delivered as an attachment.

Heuristics 3

  • Equation Editor OLE object high CVE related OLE_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Contains Equation Editor object — related to CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 exploitation, but CLSID presence alone is not the malformed MTEF exploit primitive.
  • x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EAX) high SC_GETPC_CALL
    x86 GetPC stub (CALL $+5; POP EAX)
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
