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

The RTF file contains an OLE object that leverages CVE-2017-0199 to automatically link to and download a remote document. The embedded URL 'http://10.10.10.7/logo.doc' is highly suspicious and likely serves as a lure for a secondary stage payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms the malicious nature of this exploit.
