MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The OOXML document contains heuristics indicating remote template injection and external relationship exploitation. It also contains visible command execution instructions, likely involving PowerShell, to download and execute a second-stage payload from the embedded URL. The primary intent appears to be the execution of arbitrary code via a malicious document.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://www.auditmessages.com/de-de?t=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ0cmFja2luZ190b2tlbiI6ImI0ODc1NTZkLTU1MTctNGE5Mi05MTJlLTJlNjU0MDU3ZGI3MiIsImNlb) — 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.
  • Visible LOLBin command execution instruction high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Document contains instructions or visible command text involving Windows script/execution tools such as PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, or regsvr32
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: https://www.auditmessages.com/de-de?t=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ0cmFja2luZ190b2tlbiI6ImI0ODc1NTZkLTU1MTctNGE5Mi05MTJlLTJlN
  • 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.
