The RTF file contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating it's designed to activate embedded objects. The document body provides a lure, instructing the user to 'Enable editing' to bypass security measures, a common tactic for malware droppers. The presence of these elements strongly suggests the file is intended to download and execute a secondary malicious payload.

  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
