MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample exhibits high-confidence indicators of malicious activity, including remote template injection and the presence of an embedded OLE object. The embedded URL https://i8.ae/VQMAj is highly suspicious and likely serves as a download source for a secondary payload. The document's structure and heuristics suggest an attempt to lure the user into executing malicious code, characteristic of a downloader or initial access exploit.

Heuristics 5

Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE

Document references a remote template URL (https://i8.ae/VQMAj) — 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://i8.ae/VQMAj
Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT

Document contains an embedded OLE object
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
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.
