MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious OOXML document that utilizes remote template injection and external relationships to fetch content from a suspicious IP address. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0' strongly suggests this document acts as a downloader for a second-stage payload. The embedded URLs point to a potential download source, indicating the document's primary purpose is to initiate a download and execution chain.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://185.222.57.177/_------------------_-------------------_------/..._..............---------------------_--------wiz.wiz) — 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/webSettings.xml.rels: http://185.222.57.177/_------------------_-------------------_------/..._..............---------------------_--------wiz
  • 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.
