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

The file is a PowerPoint presentation containing VBA macros. The Auto_Close macro is present and utilizes a Shell() call, indicating it is designed to execute arbitrary code upon closing the document. ClamAV identifies this as 'Doc.Dropper.Agent-8019574-0', suggesting a dropper functionality. The embedded URL was confirmed benign and is not considered a primary IOC.
