MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The critical ClamAV heuristic identified the file as Doc.Downloader.Gamaredon-9966166-1, indicating a downloader. The presence of external hyperlinks and a remote template injection heuristic pointing to 'http://usa-national.info/GPU/self/relic.dot' strongly suggests the document is designed to trick the user into downloading a malicious template. The document body, presented as a legal appeal, serves as a lure to encourage this action.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Gamaredon-9966166-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Gamaredon-9966166-1
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://usa-national.info/GPU/self/relic.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://usa-national.info/GPU/self/relic.dot
  • External hyperlinks (3) low OOXML_EXTERNAL_HYPERLINKS
    Document contains 3 external hyperlinks — clickable URLs are stored as external relationships. First target: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/4651-17
  • 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.
