MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and exhibits characteristics of a macro-enabled lure. It uses a remote template injection technique, pointing to 'http://140.82.33.69/GOP.dotm', which is likely the malicious payload. The document body explicitly instructs the user to 'Enable Content', a common tactic to bypass security measures and execute embedded macros.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Malware.Agent-9882679-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Malware.Agent-9882679-0
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://140.82.33.69/GOP.dotm) — 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://140.82.33.69/GOP.dotm
  • 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 — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
