MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PowerPoint presentation containing embedded VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Close macro designed to execute when the presentation is closed. The presence of GetObject calls and VBA p-code auto-execution indicates malicious intent. The ClamAV detection as Ppt.Malware.Valyria-10026465-0 further confirms its malicious nature. The macros are likely designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.
