MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The sample is a PowerPoint file that exhibits characteristics of an exploit, including references to ShellExecute, VirtualAlloc, LoadLibrary, and GetProcAddress APIs. ClamAV detection as 'Win.Trojan.Exploit-110' strongly suggests it's a known exploit. The presence of these APIs indicates the file likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities.
