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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data and an automatically linked OLE object, indicative of exploitation. Critical heuristics identify CVE-2017-8759 (SOAP Moniker RCE) and ClamAV detection as Rtf.Downloader.CVE_2017-6336326-3. This suggests the file is designed to exploit this vulnerability to download and execute a secondary payload, likely delivered via spearphishing.
