MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The sample is a PowerPoint file containing a VBA macro with an Auto_Open procedure. This macro utilizes GetObject and references PowerShell, indicating an attempt to execute commands. The presence of an embedded URL, though benign, suggests a potential delivery vector. The macro's primary function appears to be launching PowerShell, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 6

  • Reference to PowerShell high SC_STR_POWERSHELL
    Reference to PowerShell
  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open 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
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One 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.
