MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a PowerPoint file containing VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Close macro that utilizes the Shell() function. This indicates the macro is designed to execute arbitrary commands upon closing the presentation. The presence of the ClamAV signature 'Doc.Malware.Logan-10008082-0' further confirms its malicious nature. The macro's execution via Shell() strongly suggests it's intended to download and run a secondary payload.
