The sample uses a remote template injection and external relationship heuristic, indicating it attempts to pull content from an external source. The document body explicitly instructs the user to enable macros or editing, a common lure for malware droppers. The presence of these indicators suggests the document is designed to trick the user into enabling malicious content, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload from the identified URL.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://iplogger.org/2zaEa6) — 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://iplogger.org/2zaEa6
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
  • 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.
