MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The presence of VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Close macro and a GetObject call, indicates malicious intent. The Auto_Close macro is designed to execute automatically when the presentation is closed, and the GetObject call is often used to instantiate and run malicious objects. This combination suggests the file is a dropper or downloader that executes a secondary payload.

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
    Document contains VBA macro code
