MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious OOXML document that uses remote template injection to download a secondary file. The document body contains official-looking Ukrainian Ministry of Defense letterhead and text, likely intended to deceive the recipient into trusting the malicious content. The embedded OLE object and external relationship heuristics further indicate malicious intent, likely to execute further stages of the attack.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://lisbek.freedynamicdns.org/cache/root/KOBEko.dot) — 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://lisbek.freedynamicdns.org/cache/root/KOBEko.dot
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
  • 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.
