MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample utilizes OOXML remote template injection, indicating an attempt to load external content. The embedded URL points to a suspicious external document, likely serving as a lure to download and execute a secondary payload. The heuristics suggest this is a common delivery mechanism for malware.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://23.95.106.60/office/office_214.doc?&choice=faithful&churn=miscreant&song=decisive&random=beautiful&steeple=flippant&slipper) — 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://23.95.106.60/office/office_214.doc?&choice=faithful&churn=miscreant&song=decisive&random=beautiful&steeple=flippa
  • 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.
    URL http://23.95.106.60/office/office_214.doc?&choice=faithful&churn=miscreant&song=decisive&random=beautiful&steeple=flippant&slipper
