MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File

The OOXML file contains heuristics indicating remote template injection and external relationships pointing to 'https://en-us-office.herokuapp.com/updates'. This suggests the document is designed to lure the user into downloading and executing a malicious payload from the specified URL.

Heuristics 2

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://en-us-office.herokuapp.com/updates) — 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.
    URL https://en-us-office.herokuapp.com/updates
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: https://en-us-office.herokuapp.com/updates
    URL https://en-us-office.herokuapp.com/updates
