T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The OOXML document exhibits characteristics of malicious intent through remote template injection and the presence of embedded OLE objects. The heuristic 'OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE' firing with the URL 'https://dealc.me/HFFx2i' strongly suggests an attempt to load external malicious content. The embedded OLE objects further indicate a potential for exploiting vulnerabilities or delivering secondary payloads. The document body was truncated, limiting further analysis of its direct content.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://dealc.me/HFFx2i) — 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://dealc.me/HFFx2i
  • 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.
