Verdict Safe
Is Wormhole
Zero engine detections, signed executable with wide distribution and no malicious sandbox verdict.
Strong evidence · A verified publisher signature, and no engine flags it.
The sample shows no malicious indicators from engines or sandbox; treat as safe for normal use while retaining standard security controls.

Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 68 antivirus engines that checked it returned clean. The file is signed and has been submitted by 1423 sources over 681 days. YARA rules fired but are generic and do not name malware.
Zero malicious detections across major, smaller, and less reliable engines removes the primary malware signal. The verified signature and widely seen and long established prevalence indicate established distribution rather than a new threat. Two MITRE techniques appear in sandbox output, yet the sandbox itself returned no malicious verdict. YARA hits are present but target generic behaviours such as debugger checks and encryption strings. Contacted-host reputation data is missing, so the 19 no complete contacted-host reputation result was available or malicious.
What We Detected
74 engines scanned the sample; none flagged it malicious or suspicious. The executable is signed by Beijing Guanshanjiyue Technology Co. and shows no brand mismatch. Sandbox execution recorded two MITRE techniques (T1134, T1543.003) but returned no malicious verdict.
Threat Behavior
YARAify matched eight community rules, five of which fired. Rule names focus on debugger detection and encryption strings rather than named malware families. 19 external IPs were contacted; host-reputation coverage is incomplete.
What To Do Now
Keep security software enabled. The file can be executed in a controlled environment if further behavioural review is required, but current evidence does not indicate malice.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- YARAify returned 8 rules and 5 community matches, but rule names are generic (debugger checks, encryption detection) and do not name a malware family.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
How widely this file has been seen
Widely seen in the wild for a long time. High prior this is legitimate; isolated detections on common-old files are usually false positives.
