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

The file is an RTF document that contains multiple embedded OLE objects, as indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA and RTF_OBJEMB heuristics. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-10' strongly suggests malicious intent. While the document body appears to be a legitimate academic abstract, the presence of embedded objects points to a delivery mechanism for a secondary payload. No specific family could be identified.
