The sample is a malicious PowerPoint file containing VBA macros. The presence of an Auto_Close macro and a Shell() call within the VBA code indicates that the macro is designed to execute arbitrary commands upon closing the presentation. This is further supported by the 'VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens' heuristic. The ClamAV detection also confirms its malicious nature. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted, but the technique used is common for delivering secondary payloads.

Heuristics 5

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.W2000m-9775797-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.W2000m-9775797-0
  • 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
