The sample is a PowerPoint file containing VBA macros. A critical heuristic firing indicates the use of the Shell() function within a VBA macro, specifically within an Auto_Close routine. This suggests the macro is designed to execute a secondary payload when the presentation is closed. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature. No document body text was available for analysis, but the presence of the Shell() call strongly implies the execution of arbitrary code.

Heuristics 5

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Ppt.Trojan.Agent-7687595-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Ppt.Trojan.Agent-7687595-0
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close macro
  • 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
