MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is an RTF document identified by ClamAV as Doc.Exploit.CVE_2017_11882-6934206-0, indicating exploitation of the Equation Editor vulnerability. The presence of OLE object data and the ".objupdate" heuristic further support this, as these are common mechanisms for exploiting this vulnerability to achieve arbitrary code execution.
