MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File

The document contains external hyperlinks and a remote template reference, indicating an attempt to pull content from external sources. Specifically, it references a remote template at 'http://mytoolbox.bep.be/Certifications/Environnement/Forms/Procédure/ISO3.dot', which is highly suspicious. The external hyperlink to a SharePoint site likely serves as a lure to encourage the user to interact with the document and potentially trigger the template download.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://mytoolbox.bep.be/Certifications/Environnement/Forms/Procédure/ISO3.dot) — 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: http://mytoolbox.bep.be/Certifications/Environnement/Forms/Procédure/ISO3.dot
  • External hyperlinks (4) low OOXML_EXTERNAL_HYPERLINKS
    Document contains 4 external hyperlinks — clickable URLs are stored as external relationships. First target: https://bepnamur.sharepoint.com/sites/Projets/Lists/Suivi des projets stratgiques/Thmatique et domaine daction.aspx?FilterField1=Th_x00e9_matique&FilterValue1=B
  • 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.
