MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The OOXML document uses remote template injection and external relationships to reference a template file hosted on an external URL. The heuristic 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' indicates that the document likely contains instructions to decrypt a password-protected archive, a common tactic to evade security controls. This suggests the document is a lure to download and potentially execute a malicious payload from the specified URL.

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.
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: http://mytoolbox.bep.be/Certifications/Environnement/Forms/Procédure/ISO3.dot
  • 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.
