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

The presence of VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Close macro that calls the Shell() function, indicates malicious intent. The ClamAV detection of 'Ppt.Malware.Sload-9785240-0' further supports this. The Auto_Close macro likely executes a command to download and run a secondary payload, although the specific command or URL is not directly extractable from the provided heuristics.

    Auto_Close macro
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
