The RTF file contains OLE object data and an instruction to activate OLE objects, indicating it's designed to execute embedded content. The document body provides a lure related to financial audits, instructing the user to 'Enable editing' to bypass security measures. This combination strongly suggests a macro-based dropper attempting to trick the user into executing malicious code.

  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
