T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is a PowerPoint file containing VBA macros. Critical heuristics indicate the use of the Shell() function, with evidence of character-shift decoding to obfuscate the command. The Auto_Close macro is present, suggesting execution upon closing the presentation. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10008087-0' further confirms its malicious nature. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging VBA to execute arbitrary commands, likely for downloading and running further malicious content.
Heuristics 6
-
Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELLShell() call in VBA
-
VBA character-shift decoded Shell command critical OLE_VBA_ASC_CHR_SHIFT_SHELLVBA auto-exec macro stores an encoded command string, decodes it with a Mid/Asc/Chr character-shift loop, and passes the recovered text to Shell. This is a high-confidence command stager.

-
VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXECCompiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
