MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Downloader.Gamaredon-9966166-1, indicating it is a downloader associated with the Gamaredon group. Heuristics indicate the OOXML document attempts to inject a remote template from 'http://classroom.dangeti.ru/IRINA/source.dot', which is a common tactic for delivering secondary payloads. The document body content discusses price increases for various food products, which appears to be a lure to disguise the malicious intent.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Gamaredon-9966166-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Gamaredon-9966166-1
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://classroom.dangeti.ru/IRINA/source.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.
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: http://classroom.dangeti.ru/IRINA/source.dot
  • 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.
