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

The RTF file contains an OLE object that is automatically linked and updated, exploiting CVE-2017-0199. This vulnerability allows the document to fetch and execute a payload from the embedded URL http://192.168.178.157:8080//. The embedded URL and the exploitation technique strongly indicate a malicious intent to download and run a secondary stage.
