This PowerPoint file contains VBA macros, including an Auto_Close macro that utilizes the Shell() function. This indicates the macro is designed to execute arbitrary commands upon closing the document. The presence of the Shell() call and the Auto_Close execution token strongly suggests the macro's purpose is to download and execute a second-stage payload. While a URL was extracted, it was flagged as confirmed benign, so the specific payload delivery mechanism remains unclear. No specific family could be identified.

Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELLShell() call in VBA
-
Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSEAuto_Close macro
-
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.
-
VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROSDocument contains VBA macro code
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.URL http://%40%40%40%40%40%40@j.mp/asdghasd567asdgh
