T1559.001 Component Object Model
The file is an RTF document containing embedded OLE objects, specifically triggering heuristics related to the Equation Editor vulnerability (CVE-2017-11882). ClamAV also explicitly detects this known exploit. The presence of large, hex-encoded data within the OLE object suggests it is used to hide a malicious payload, likely delivered via the exploited vulnerability.
Heuristics 9
-
Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATEDRTF contains Composite Moniker CLSID in OLE object context, but no nearby scriptlet/SCT payload was confirmed. Treat as related moniker attack-surface evidence rather than proof of CVE-2017-8570 exploitation.
-
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
-
ClamAV: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6584355-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6584355-1
-
\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.
-
Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEXRTF contains ~3827KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
-
OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATARTF contains 2 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
