Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →The vulnerability is triggered when a user opens a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office or Microsoft WordPad; detection should focus on suspicious Office/WordPad file opens, particularly via email attachments or web downloads. ↗
- →The attack vector includes email delivery of a malicious file; monitor for Office/WordPad documents delivered via email that spawn child processes or invoke Equation Editor (EQNEDT32.EXE). ↗
- →The vulnerability resides in Equation Editor functionality; monitor for execution of EQNEDT32.EXE spawned from Office applications as a suspicious indicator. ↗
- ·Exploit status is publicly disclosed: No and exploited: No at time of advisory; exploitation likelihood rated 'Unlikely' for both latest and older software releases, so prevalence in the wild may be low. ↗
- ·The CVE-2018-0807 vulnerability is distinct from the closely related Equation Editor RCE CVEs CVE-2018-0805 and CVE-2018-0806; ensure detections and patches target the correct CVE and affected Office versions (2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016). ↗

CVE-2018-0807 [HIGH] Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office software when the software fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file with

Threat Brief: Office Documents Can Be Dangerous (But We’ll Continue to Use Them Anyway)
Nearly all of us have a use for Microsoft Office documents. Whether they are work documents, e-receipts, or a lease on a new apartment – Office documents are useful to all of us, and this is part of the reason we’re very likely to open an office document we receive as an attachment in e-mail. Armed with the knowledge that many people will open nearly any document, even those from an untrusted source, adversaries commonly choose these files in attacks to compromise a system.
In this threat brief we show you five different ways that Office documents can be subverted and abused to attack and compromise a Windows endpoint, some we’ve already posted about before, and some are new.
