The file is a PowerPoint presentation containing VBA macros. A high-severity heuristic indicates that the VBA p-code executes auto-close functions using Shell, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The macros are likely designed to download and execute a secondary payload, although no specific URLs or commands were extracted from the provided evidence. The presence of VBA macros and the auto-close execution pattern suggest a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 2

  • 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
