The sample is a PowerPoint presentation containing a VBA macro that is automatically executed upon opening (Auto_Open). The macro utilizes a GetObject call to execute a second-stage payload. The script is heavily obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact nature of the payload or its destination. However, the presence of Auto_Open and GetObject strongly suggests an attempt to run arbitrary code.

Heuristics 4

  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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
