The RTF file contains an OLE object that is automatically linked and updated, exploiting CVE-2017-0199. This exploit is designed to download and execute a remote RTF document from a specified URL. The embedded URL 'http://localhost/doc.rtf' is the primary indicator of the malicious payload's origin.
