MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains an OLE object with a weaponized URL exploiting CVE-2017-0199. This URL, ftp://ftpsommelier:hos1057@residenzailsommelier.com/httpdocs/template.hta, is used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of excessive hex-encoded data within the OLE object further suggests the hiding of a malicious payload.
