MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an OOXML document that contains a heuristic firing for remote template injection, pointing to a suspicious URL. This indicates the document is likely attempting to download and execute a secondary payload. ClamAV also detected it as a downloader, further supporting this assessment. The document body is minimal and does not provide additional context.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://www.5z8.info/peepshow_j0e6ex_php-start_GPS_tracking-user) — 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/webSettings.xml.rels: http://www.5z8.info/peepshow_j0e6ex_php-start_GPS_tracking-user
  • 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.
