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 an arbitrary command upon closing the presentation, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. No specific family could be identified, and no external IOCs were extracted.
