The sample is a PowerPoint file containing VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Close macro. Critical heuristics indicate the use of the Shell() function and VBA p-code execution, suggesting the macro attempts to run external commands. The Auto_Close macro is designed to execute automatically when the presentation is closed, facilitating the execution of a malicious payload. No specific family could be identified, but the techniques used are common for initial access and payload delivery.
