MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious Link T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as a malicious downloader by ClamAV. It uses a remote template injection and an external relationship pointing to 'http://154.216.18.82/errorpage/vVnqASxChlUkzowU.doc', which is highly suspicious. The document body presents a list of parts and quantities, likely a lure to encourage users to enable macros or content editing to access the full information. This suggests the document's primary purpose is to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Loda-7570590-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Loda-7570590-0
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://154.216.18.82/errorpage/vVnqASxChlUkzowU.doc) — 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/settings.xml.rels: http://154.216.18.82/errorpage/vVnqASxChlUkzowU.doc
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
  • 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.
