The OOXML document exhibits characteristics of malicious intent through the use of remote template injection and external relationships, both pointing to the URL https://urlty.co/AvFaa. This suggests the document is designed to pull and execute content from an external source, likely to deliver a secondary payload. The presence of embedded EMF files further supports the possibility of malicious content delivery.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://urlty.co/AvFaa) — 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://urlty.co/AvFaa
  • 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.
