MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE and OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL heuristics indicate that the document is configured to load external content, likely to exploit a vulnerability. The ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0' strongly suggests a downloader functionality. The embedded URL, although marked as benign in this analysis, is the likely vector for fetching the secondary payload. No scripts were extracted, but the heuristics point to a downloader attempting to exploit a remote template.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://cutt.ly/QbW9C7l) — 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/webSettings.xml.rels: https://cutt.ly/QbW9C7l
  • 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.
