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

The RTF file contains OLE object data and is configured to automatically update and activate an OLE object. This behavior is indicative of an exploit for CVE-2017-0199, which is designed to download and execute a remote file. The embedded URL 'http://192.168.96.128/logo.doc' is the target for this exploit, likely serving as a secondary payload.
