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

The RTF document contains an OLE object that exploits CVE-2017-0199, a known vulnerability for client execution. The exploit targets the URL http://192.168.3.6/exploit.html, which is likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of OLE object data and automatic linking further supports the exploitation attempt.
