MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The RTF file contains an embedded OLE object, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this object is designed to be automatically activated, likely exploiting a vulnerability to execute code. The embedded object itself is not directly readable, but its presence and the activation heuristic strongly suggest a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.
