MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

This PowerPoint file contains VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Close macro that is triggered when the presentation is closed. The heuristic 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' indicates that this macro uses GetObject for execution. This pattern suggests the macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from a remote source. No specific family could be identified, and no external IOCs were extracted.

Heuristics 4

  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled 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_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
