MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and exhibits characteristics of a macro-based malware dropper. It uses a remote template injection and external relationship, and the document body likely contains a lure to enable macros. The primary IOC is the URL associated with the remote template, which is likely used to download a secondary payload.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Malware.Agent-9868335-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Malware.Agent-9868335-0
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://micrsoft365.live/extension/api-FKdq8720/template-jn02b3.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.
    URL https://micrsoft365.live/extension/api-FKdq8720/template-jn02b3.dot
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: https://micrsoft365.live/extension/api-FKdq8720/template-jn02b3.dot
    URL https://micrsoft365.live/extension/api-FKdq8720/template-jn02b3.dot
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — context-specific rules above attribute URLs they actually evaluated; this rule lists URLs that were present in the bytes but were not otherwise tied to a specific finding.
