MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The critical ClamAV detection and high-severity heuristics for remote template injection and external relationships indicate that this OOXML document is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The embedded URLs, though not directly resolving to known malicious sites, are highly suspicious and likely serve as the source for the malware. The document body contains only placeholder text, offering no further clues to the lure.

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 (http://1806549122/..--------..---------..----_---_---------____-_-_-_-------..-/h......--------------....------------_------.------D-dD----.) — 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 high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/webSettings.xml.rels: http://1806549122/..--------..---------..----_---_---------____-_-_-_-------..-/h......--------------....------------_--
  • 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.
