MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF document contains OLE object data and uses \objupdate to force OLE activation, indicating an attempt to execute embedded content. While no specific payload or script was directly extracted and analyzed, the heuristics strongly suggest a malicious intent to exploit OLE object handling for payload delivery. The confidence is moderate due to the lack of directly executable script content.
