The OOXML file contains heuristics indicating the use of remote templates and external relationships, pointing to a malicious external resource. The embedded URL https://e.vg/pMVLMGR is the primary indicator of compromise, likely serving as a lure or a download location for a secondary payload. The document's structure suggests it's designed to exploit these features for malicious purposes.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://e.vg/pMVLMGR) — 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: https://e.vg/pMVLMGR
  • 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.
    URL https://e.vg/pMVLMGR
