The file is a PowerPoint presentation containing a VBA macro that is automatically executed upon opening (Auto_Open). The macro utilizes a Shell() call, indicating an attempt to execute an external command. The script concatenates several strings to form a command, which is then executed. This suggests the macro's purpose is to download and execute a second-stage payload. The specific command constructed is not fully resolvable due to obfuscation and missing variables, but the presence of the Shell() call and Auto_Open macro are strong indicators of malicious intent.
Heuristics 5
-
Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELLShell() call in VBA
-
Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOAuto_Open 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.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
-
VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROSDocument contains VBA macro code
