T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The OOXML document contains heuristics indicating remote template injection and external relationships, both commonly used to pull in malicious content. The embedded URL 'https://makeshort.link/FbAcb' is highly suspicious and likely serves as the initial lure or payload delivery mechanism. The document body itself appears to be a benign startup checklist, suggesting the malicious functionality is entirely driven by the external references.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://makeshort.link/FbAcb) — 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://makeshort.link/FbAcb
  • 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.
