MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a PowerPoint document containing VBA macros, as indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic. ClamAV detections (Win.Trojan.PP97M-7) on both the main file and an extracted artifact confirm its malicious nature. The document body consists of generic PowerPoint template text, suggesting a lure to enable macros. The specific intent of the macros could not be determined due to the absence of a SCRIPTS section, but the presence of VBA macros in a malicious PowerPoint file strongly suggests a delivery mechanism for further malicious payloads.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.PP97M-7 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.PP97M-7
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code

Extracted artifacts 1

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
