MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object that triggers the CVE-2012-0158 vulnerability, which is known to be exploitable for client execution. The heuristic firings indicate the presence of shellcode within the decoded OLE object data, suggesting it is designed to execute a payload.

Heuristics 3
