The file is a PowerPoint presentation containing VBA macros. The critical heuristic firing indicates the use of the Shell() function within a VBA macro, specifically triggered by the Auto_Close function. This suggests the macro is designed to execute arbitrary commands upon closing the presentation, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. No specific family could be identified, and no external IOCs were extracted.
