MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The file exhibits critical heuristic firings for remote template injection and external relationship, indicating it attempts to load external resources. The embedded URLs, particularly the obfuscated ones, are highly suspicious and likely point to the download location of a secondary payload. ClamAV detection as Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0 further supports its malicious nature as a downloader.

    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://00000000000OOOOOLLLLLLLL000000000000LLLLLLLOOOOO00000000000LLLLLLLOOOOO0000000000LLLLL00000000000OOOLLLLLLL@3221468051/x......xx.....) — 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 high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/webSettings.xml.rels: http://00000000000OOOOOLLLLLLLL000000000000LLLLLLLOOOOO00000000000LLLLLLLOOOOO0000000000LLLLL00000000000OOOLLLLLLL@32214
  • 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.
