MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link

The OOXML document contains heuristics indicating the use of a remote template injection and an external relationship, both pointing to the URL https://topkale.me/9BYWrt. This suggests the document is designed to trick the user into accessing this external resource, which likely serves as a lure for a secondary payload download or execution.

Heuristics 2

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://topkale.me/9BYWrt) — 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.
    URL https://topkale.me/9BYWrt
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: https://topkale.me/9BYWrt
    URL https://topkale.me/9BYWrt
