T1204.002 Malicious File

The OOXML document contains heuristics indicating remote template injection and external relationships, pointing to a malicious external resource. The primary IOC is the URL used for this injection, which likely serves as a downloader for a secondary payload. No document body text was available for analysis, but the heuristics strongly suggest a malicious download attempt.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://192.227.173.33/office/26.doc?&frock=evil&pine=harmonious&principal=vigorous&thunderhead=demonic&pantsuit=oafish&scorn) — 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://192.227.173.33/office/26.doc?&frock=evil&pine=harmonious&principal=vigorous&thunderhead=demonic&pantsuit=oafish&s
  • 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.
    URL http://192.227.173.33/office/26.doc?&frock=evil&pine=harmonious&principal=vigorous&thunderhead=demonic&pantsuit=oafish&scorn
