Heuristics 7

  • Equation Editor ProgID + OLE object high CVE related RTF_EQUATION_EDITOR
    RTF references Equation.3 ProgID alongside \objdata — likely Equation Editor (CVE-2017-11882 / CVE-2018-0802 / CVE-2018-0798) but without the binary CLSID payload, so flagged at HIGH instead of CRITICAL.
  • ClamAV: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2018_0802-6624871-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Rtf.Exploit.CVE_2018_0802-6624871-1
  • Equation Editor object class critical RTF_OBJCLASS_EQUATION
    Object class 'equation.3' references Equation Editor
  • \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 1 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
  • Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMB
    RTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
