MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample uses OOXML remote template injection and external relationship heuristics, indicating it attempts to pull content from a remote URL. The heuristic 'Password-protected archive handoff' suggests the document's purpose is to trick the user into opening a password-protected archive, likely containing a malicious payload. The embedded URL points to a template that likely facilitates this social engineering tactic.

Heuristics 4

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://docstore.app.yhrn.police/Documents/South Yorkshire/MG 11_2017.dot) — 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://docstore.app.yhrn.police/Documents/South Yorkshire/MG 11_2017.dot
  • 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.
