MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1587.001 Develop Capabilities: Malware

The OOXML document was flagged for remote template injection and external relationship, indicating an attempt to load content from a remote source. The primary IOC is the remote template URL, which is likely used to deliver a malicious payload. The document body was truncated, and no scripts were extracted, limiting further analysis of the exact execution flow.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://www.microtreely.com/support/knowledgebase/article/AIUZGAE7230X.dotm) — 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://www.microtreely.com/support/knowledgebase/article/AIUZGAE7230X.dotm
  • 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.
