Is EmberlightFREE.lua safe?

Verdict
Safe

A lone generic Skyhigh detection lacks tier-1 or research-intelligence corroboration, although the newly observed Lua file has no runtime evidence available.

Only 1 of 75 engines flagged this Lua file, using a generic dropper heuristic, while all 17 reporting tier-1 engines were undetected. The isolated result is more consistent with a false positive, but the file is newly observed and no sandbox or contacted-host evidence is available.

Open with normal care

Use the script only if its source and intended function are trusted, and keep endpoint protection enabled. For added assurance, review its Lua code and rescan after it has gained more prevalence.

Analyst conclusion

Only 1 of 75 engines flagged this Lua file, using a generic dropper heuristic, while all 17 reporting tier-1 engines were undetected. The isolated result is more consistent with a false positive, but the file is newly observed and no sandbox or contacted-host evidence is available.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • Skyhigh, a tier-2 engine, labeled the sample "BehavesLike.VBS.Dropper.bp"; this is a real counter-signal despite lacking family or tier-1 corroboration.
  • The file is newly observed and has only one submission, so the absence of broader detections may partly reflect limited exposure.

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

Recommended action

Use the script only if its source and intended function are trusted, and keep endpoint protection enabled. For added assurance, review its Lua code and rescan after it has gained more prevalence.

6 evidence-based answers
Is EmberlightFREE.lua safe?
Evidence-based answer
EmberlightFREE.lua appears safe. 1 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it; the 1 detection were treated as non-decisive after the wider evidence was weighed. Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
What is EmberlightFREE.lua?
Evidence-based answer
EmberlightFREE.lua is a file, about 781 KB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected EmberlightFREE.lua?
Evidence-based answer
1 of 75 antivirus engines flagged EmberlightFREE.lua, 1 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence.
What is the SHA-256 hash of EmberlightFREE.lua?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of EmberlightFREE.lua is 1d62316467d0b0abcbfc1a1fe84c0c680904a021eeb96143924a2b0b30679372, and its MD5 is 2485a271fe772cf7c03712dcf2559fac. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to open EmberlightFREE.lua?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, EmberlightFREE.lua has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of EmberlightFREE.lua?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 29, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of EmberlightFREE.lua is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
