MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The critical ClamAV heuristic and the remote template injection heuristic indicate that this document is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The URL associated with the remote template is flagged as confirmed benign, which is unusual but does not negate the other strong indicators of malicious intent. The file is classified as a downloader based on these findings.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Redline-9972754-0
  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://doctor.hopto.org/torotoro/nd.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.
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/webSettings.xml.rels: http://doctor.hopto.org/torotoro/nd.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.
