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

The RTF document contains OLE object data and uses \objupdate to force OLE activation, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities for code execution. The embedded OLE object, objdata_00_off00001463.bin, is likely a payload or a loader for one. Given the nature of RTF exploits, it is highly probable that this document was delivered via spearphishing.
