The critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_SHELL' indicates the presence of a Shell() call within the VBA macros. This is further supported by the 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' heuristic, which flags auto-execution with execution tokens. The Auto_Close macro is also present, suggesting it is designed to execute automatically when the presentation is closed. These factors strongly suggest the macro is intended to download and execute a second-stage payload. No specific family could be identified, and no external IOCs were extracted.

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Logan-10008082-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Logan-10008082-0
  • 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
    Document contains VBA macro code
