The sample is a PowerPoint file containing a malicious VBA macro. The Auto_Close macro is configured to execute a command using the Shell() function. This indicates the macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The embedded URL, while marked as benign, is suspicious in this context. The VBA p-code auto-execution with execution tokens further supports the malicious intent.

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://1230948%1230948%1230948%1230948@j.mp/vbdjsagdjgasgcvadfgsadghan
