Rewterz Threat Alert – Open Document format creates twist in maldoc landscape

October 10, 2019

Severity

Medium

Analysis Summary

Cisco Talos recently observed attackers changing the file formats they use in an attempt to thwart common antivirus engines. This can happen across other file formats, but today, we are showing a change of approach for an actor who has deemed antivirus engines perhaps “too good” at detecting macro-based infection vectors. We’ve noticed that the OpenDocument (ODT) file format for some Office applications can be used to bypass these detections. ODT is a ZIP archive with XML-based files used by Microsoft Office, as well as the comparable Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice software.
