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

The RTF file contains embedded OLE object data and is weaponized to exploit CVE-2017-0199. The exploit targets the OLE2Link object and attempts to automatically update, triggering the download of a secondary payload from the embedded URL http://192.168.147.130:8080/default.hta. This indicates a likely initial access vector via spearphishing attachment, leading to the execution of a remote script.
