The sample is a PowerPoint file containing a malicious VBA macro. The Auto_Close macro is triggered upon closing the presentation and uses GetObject to execute a second-stage payload. The script reconstructs the URL "https://bitly.com/om/qyudoialjbnsdjkahsdkjahsbad" from concatenated strings and attempts to download and execute content from it. This indicates a downloader functionality.

Heuristics 4

  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close 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
