MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution

The OOXML document contains a heuristic firing for remote template injection, pointing to the URL https://kho.ink/HbSfD. This suggests the document is designed to load external content, likely a malicious payload, from this external resource. The presence of external relationships further supports the attempt to fetch content from a remote source.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://kho.ink/HbSfD) — 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: https://kho.ink/HbSfD
  • 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.
