MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an OOXML document that exhibits remote template injection and external relationship heuristics, both pointing to the URL http://cml.ll/tj7g80. This indicates the document is likely designed to download and execute a secondary payload from this external source, a common technique for malware delivery.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://cml.ll/tj7g80) — 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://cml.ll/tj7g80
  • 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.
