MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is detected as a downloader by ClamAV, specifically associated with the Gamaredon group. Heuristics indicate remote template injection and external relationships pointing to 'http://tomond.ru/VZ/release/refreshment/regular.dot', which is likely a malicious template. The document body is crafted as a formal request for information to the Security Service of Ukraine, a common lure to trick users into opening malicious content.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Gamaredon-9966166-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Gamaredon-9966166-1
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://tomond.ru/VZ/release/refreshment/regular.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://tomond.ru/VZ/release/refreshment/regular.dot
  • 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.
