Analyst conclusion

It has been seen from 331 distinct submitters since first seen on Jan 16, 2021. No hostile network contacts or injection targets were recorded.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • The DLL is unsigned, so there is no publisher identity to confirm the build is the genuine Lua library.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is lua54.dll safe?
We found nothing harmful in lua54.dll. None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Use it only as part of a program you got from the developer's own website.
What is lua54.dll?
lua54.dll is a Windows library (DLL), about 356.2 kB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Jan 16, 2021.
How many antivirus engines detected lua54.dll?
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag lua54.dll. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of lua54.dll?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of lua54.dll is 0fe22c4f44465370bc44dcf47370052edf19a006b1ccc3f36a19ee30eff20955, and its MD5 is 381cb8b617adb5c253a4f7a1dc368f47. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to use lua54.dll?
We found nothing harmful in lua54.dll. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of lua54.dll?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 24, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
