MS14-017 Microsoft Word RTF Object Confusion
Description
This module creates a malicious RTF file that when opened in vulnerable versions of Microsoft Word will lead to code execution. The flaw exists in how a listoverridecount field can be modified to treat one structure as another. This bug was originally seen being exploited in the wild starting in April 2014. This module was created by reversing a public malware sample.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
