MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains a critical heuristic firing for CVE-2017-0199, indicating it exploits a vulnerability in OLE object linking to download a payload. The embedded URL http://10.91.4.32:8080/default.hta is likely the second-stage payload. The presence of OLE object data and an automatically linked OLE object further supports the exploitation vector.
