MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an OOXML document that exhibits heuristics for remote template injection and external relationships. These indicators point to the document attempting to load content from the URL 'https://www.fabianiarte.com/uploads/imgproject/912EC803B2CE49E4A541068D495AB570.jpg'. This technique is commonly used to download and execute further malicious content, such as a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://www.fabianiarte.com/uploads/imgproject/912EC803B2CE49E4A541068D495AB570.jpg) — 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.fabianiarte.com/uploads/imgproject/912EC803B2CE49E4A541068D495AB570.jpg
  • 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.
