The RTF document contains embedded OLE objects, specifically triggering heuristics related to Equation Editor vulnerabilities. The presence of `RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR` and `RTF_OBJAUTLINK` strongly suggests an exploit targeting this component. The `RTF_OBJUPDATE` heuristic indicates that the embedded object is designed to be activated automatically, likely leading to the execution of a malicious payload. The extracted artifact `objdata_00_off0000102c.bin` is likely the exploit payload.

Heuristics 5

  • Equation Editor CLSID critical RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Equation Editor OLE CLSID found inside an OLE object — exploited by CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798
  • Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINK
    RTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
  • \objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATE
    RTF 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_OBJDATA
    RTF contains 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • 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.
