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

The file is detected as a downloader by ClamAV and exhibits characteristics of a macro-enabled lure, instructing the user to enable content. It also uses remote template injection and external relationships pointing to a suspicious URL. The document body contains a list of parts, likely a pretext to encourage macro execution.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Loda-7570590-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Loda-7570590-0
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://covid19help.top/nick.doc) — 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 high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: https://covid19help.top/nick.doc
  • 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.
