MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is an OOXML file containing an embedded OLE object identified as an Equation Editor object. This is a common technique used to exploit vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2017-11882, to achieve arbitrary code execution on the victim's machine. No scripts or document body text were extracted, limiting further analysis of the specific payload.

Heuristics 3

  • Equation Editor OLE object high CVE related OLE_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Embedded OLE object xl/embeddings/oleObject1.bin contains the Equation Editor CLSID, the legacy component exploited by CVE-2017-11882, CVE-2018-0802, and CVE-2018-0798.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
