MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution

The file exhibits characteristics of a malicious OOXML document, specifically triggering heuristics for remote template injection and external relationships. These indicators suggest an attempt to load external resources, likely for malicious purposes. The embedded URL points to a suspicious shortener, which is a common technique for obfuscating malicious links. The document body contains mathematical formulas, which is likely a lure to disguise the malicious intent.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://kutt.uk/SoJDuc) — 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: https://kutt.uk/SoJDuc
  • 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.
