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://30.30.30.141/logo.doc' is highly suspicious and likely serves as a lure for a secondary stage payload. This exploit facilitates client execution by tricking the user into opening a malicious attachment.
