MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an OOXML document that references a remote template (http://fcahome/readingrm/handbook/FCA Regulation/Forms/template.dotx), indicating an attempt to load external content. It also contains an external hyperlink to a DOCX file, suggesting a multi-stage attack. The document body contains regulatory text, likely a lure to disguise the malicious intent of loading the remote template.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://fcahome/readingrm/handbook/FCA Regulation/Forms/template.dotx) — 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://fcahome/readingrm/handbook/FCA Regulation/Forms/template.dotx
  • External hyperlinks (1) low OOXML_EXTERNAL_HYPERLINKS
    Document contains 1 external hyperlink — clickable URLs are stored as external relationships. First target: http://ww3.fca.gov/readingrm/fedreg/Federal Register Documents/81 FR 49720.docx
  • 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.
