MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

This PowerPoint file contains a VBA macro that is automatically executed via the AutoOpen function. The macro references 'cmd.exe', indicating an attempt to run shell commands. The presence of VBA macros and the execution of shell commands suggest a downloader or initial execution stage for further malicious activity. No specific family could be identified.
