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

The RTF file contains an OLE object that is automatically linked and updated, exploiting CVE-2017-0199. This vulnerability allows the file to download a secondary payload from the embedded URL http://192.168.159.132/logo.txt, which is then likely executed on the victim's machine. The ClamAV detection further confirms the malicious nature of this exploit.
