T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell

The sample is a PowerPoint file containing VBA macros. The critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_SHELL' indicates the presence of a Shell() call within the VBA code, which is commonly used to execute arbitrary commands. The 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' heuristic further suggests that an auto-execution routine within the VBA p-code is configured to execute these commands. The 'Auto_Close' macro firing indicates that this malicious code is likely triggered when the document is closed. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted, but the presence of these critical heuristics strongly suggests malicious intent.

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.W2000m-9775797-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.W2000m-9775797-0
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close macro
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
