MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The document employs remote template injection and external relationship heuristics, pointing to a malicious external resource at http://sunlin.org/info/style?title=2201212. It also contains a heuristic indicating it's a password-protected archive lure, suggesting the document's purpose is to trick the user into downloading an encrypted payload. The embedded URL is likely part of this delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://sunlin.org/info/style?title=2201212) — 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.
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels: http://sunlin.org/info/style?title=2201212
  • 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.
