MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE and OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL heuristics indicate that this document is configured to load external content from a remote URL. This is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. The embedded URL https://cpbr.link/efz2Px?&trachoma=frantic&grass is highly suspicious and likely serves as the initial download source for a secondary stage. No scripts were extracted, but the remote template injection is sufficient to classify this as malicious.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (https://cpbr.link/efz2Px?&trachoma=frantic&grass) — 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://cpbr.link/efz2Px?&trachoma=frantic&grass
  • 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.
