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

The file contains VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Open function, which is designed to execute automatically when the presentation is opened. This macro references PowerShell and uses the `Shell` function to execute a command. The embedded URL `https://bitbucket.org` is likely used to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10007976-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10007976-0

    Reference to PowerShell
  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC

  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
