T1059.001 PowerShell
T1218.005 System Binary Proxy Execution: Mshta
The sample is a PowerPoint file containing VBA macros. The Auto_Close macro utilizes a Shell() call, which is flagged as critical. This macro likely executes a command via mshta.exe, as indicated by the SC_STR_MSHTA heuristic. The embedded URL, while marked as confirmed benign, is present in the document text and could have been used for payload delivery. The VBA p-code auto-execution with execution tokens further supports the malicious intent.
