MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The sample is a malicious PowerPoint file containing a VBA macro. The Auto_Close macro is configured to execute a command using the Shell() function, which is a critical finding. This indicates the macro is designed to launch an external process. No specific malware family is identifiable from the provided heuristics, and no external URLs or hashes were extracted.

Heuristics 4

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close macro
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
