MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a PPS (PowerPoint Show) document containing VBA macros, indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS and OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN heuristics. The AutoOpen macro is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. The DOC BODY, though heavily garbled, suggests a lure to click and enable macros. The macros.bas file is the source of this malicious behavior. The PEB access heuristic suggests the macro may be attempting to evade detection.
