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

The presence of VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Close macro and a GetObject call, indicates malicious intent. The Auto_Close macro is designed to execute automatically when the presentation is closed, and the GetObject call is often used to instantiate and run malicious objects. The ClamAV detection of Ppt.Malware.Valyria-10026465-0 further confirms its malicious nature. The macros are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload.
