MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a PowerPoint file identified as malicious. Static analysis detected VBA macros and a specific reference to PowerShell within the VBA code. The presence of 'macros.bas' and the PowerShell reference strongly suggest the macros are designed to execute a secondary payload, likely via PowerShell. The embedded URL was confirmed benign, so the primary IOC is the macro file itself.

Heuristics 4

  • PowerShell reference in VBA critical OLE_VBA_PS
    PowerShell reference in VBA
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.
