MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The document utilizes OOXML remote template injection and external relationship heuristics, indicating an attempt to fetch and execute content from a remote source. The presence of embedded OLE objects further suggests the inclusion of potentially malicious components. The primary IOC is the URL used for the remote template, which is likely the initial stage of a download and execution chain.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://cloudservices.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com:443/iiuiuiiuiuuiiiiuiuu###############################iuiiiuiuiiuiuiuiuiui.doc?AW) — 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://cloudservices.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com:443/iiuiuiiuiuuiiiiuiuu###############################iuiiiui
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
  • 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.
