MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a malicious OOXML document that uses remote template injection to pull content from an external URL. This technique is often used to download and execute further stages of malware. The document body itself is a seemingly legitimate job application, which is a common lure for social engineering attacks.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://palodus.myftp.biz/network/guardian/relate/grudge/rrdJqe.dot) — 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://palodus.myftp.biz/network/guardian/relate/grudge/rrdJqe.dot
  • 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.
