MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File

The sample exhibits multiple high-severity heuristics related to external relationships and remote template injection, specifically targeting the URL http://tunjihost.ga/doc/fgee.doc. ClamAV identifies the file as a downloader, indicating its primary purpose is to fetch and execute a secondary payload. The presence of these indicators strongly suggests a malicious document designed for initial compromise via spearphishing.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0
  • OOXML external relationship targets a free/throwaway TLD high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL_FREE_TLD
    Document has an external relationship whose target host is on a free, no-registration TLD (Freenom .ml/.ga/.cf/.gq/.tk). Legitimate business documents do not link out to a Freenom throwaway domain; these are a near-zero-FP phishing / BEC delivery tell (e.g. an RFQ/invoice lure pointing at 'shareddocuments.ml/RFQ'). The relationship may be a hyperlink, a remote template, or an external OLE object.
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://tunjihost.ga/doc/fgee.doc) — 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://tunjihost.ga/doc/fgee.doc
  • 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.
