MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution T1559.001 Component Object Model Hijacking

The document exhibits characteristics of a malicious OOXML file, specifically remote template injection and the presence of external relationships, pointing towards an attempt to load external content. The embedded OLE objects further suggest the inclusion of potentially malicious components. The primary IOC is the URL associated with the remote template injection, which is likely used to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://u4u.kids/clm3hy?&sing=cuddly&brain=hapless&kingfish=perpetual&cake=scientific&bacon=kindhearted&jelly=pumped&reveal=reflective&clock) — 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://u4u.kids/clm3hy?&sing=cuddly&brain=hapless&kingfish=perpetual&cake=scientific&bacon=kindhearted&jelly=pumped&rev
  • 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.
