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

The RTF file contains an OLE object that is automatically linked and updated, indicating an attempt to activate embedded content. Crucially, it exploits CVE-2017-0199 by referencing the remote URL http://192.168.72.153, which is highly indicative of a malicious payload download. This technique is commonly used in spearphishing attachments to deliver secondary malware.
