MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

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 secondary payload from the embedded URL http://172.22.65.21:8080/default.hta. The presence of the weaponized URL and the OLE object activation heuristics strongly indicate a malicious intent to execute remote code.
