MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The RTF file contains an OLE object that exploits CVE-2017-0199, indicated by the 'CVE_2017_0199_WEAPONIZED_URL' heuristic. This exploit is designed to download and execute a payload from a specified URL. The extracted URL, http://192.168.37.128:8080/KYg8mmfe.hta, is likely the location of this payload. The presence of OLE object data and an automatically linked OLE object further supports the exploitation vector.
