The sample is a PowerPoint file containing a malicious VBA macro. The Auto_Close macro is configured to execute a command using the Shell() function, which is a critical finding. The macro source is 40733 bytes, indicating a complex script. The embedded URL was confirmed benign, so the primary IOC is the Shell() call itself. The macro's intent is to execute arbitrary commands on the system.

Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELLShell() call in VBA
-
Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSEAuto_Close macro
-
VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXECCompiled 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_MACROSDocument contains VBA macro code
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://1230948%1230948@j.mp/jasfasdplasdplokasdpljjjj
