MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an OOXML document that contains external hyperlinks and references a remote template. This suggests an attempt to load external resources, potentially for malicious purposes such as credential harvesting or malware delivery. The presence of external links and remote template references indicates a likely spearphishing attachment vector.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://fcahome/readingrm/handbook/FCA Regulation/Forms/template.dotx) — a common remote-template-injection vector used by Hancitor, Emotet and many phishing campaigns. Word can fetch and apply the remote template; macros in that template may execute depending on Office policy and trust state.
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: http://fcahome/readingrm/handbook/FCA Regulation/Forms/template.dotx
  • External hyperlinks (4) low OOXML_EXTERNAL_HYPERLINKS
    Document contains 4 external hyperlinks — clickable URLs are stored as external relationships. First target: http://ww3.fca.gov/readingrm/handbook/FCA Regulation/652.065.docx
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
