MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The document contains external hyperlinks and an external relationship pointing to a local network path, suggesting a potential lure. The heuristic 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' indicates the document instructs the user on how to open a password-protected archive, a common technique to evade security controls. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 4

  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/charts/_rels/chart1.xml.rels: file:///\\ad\mkedfs\Health\DCP\Common\DCP_SHARED\CD\Communicable Diseases\INFLUENZA\Syndromic Surveillance\Respiratory S
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • External hyperlinks (5) low OOXML_EXTERNAL_HYPERLINKS
    Document contains 5 external hyperlinks — clickable URLs are stored as external relationships. First target: http://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/fluportaldashboard.html
  • 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.
