File verdict·Decided by the MT AI Engine
Our call

Safe

Clean across 71 engines including all tier-1 scanners; behaviour matches WebView2 portable app with minor heuristic flags explained by CDN usage.

Reasoning

With perfect engine results (0 malicious from 71 reporters, 17 tier-1 clean), this file lacks any detection consensus. Behaviour reveals a standard WebView2 app from flick.winscript.dev, writing expected app data and launching edgewebview2.exe. The direct IP to Cloudflare (162.159.36.2) triggered a heuristic but aligns with CDN asset loading in portable web apps. Unsigned status and newness raise caution, but medium prevalence and no malicious runtime evidence support safety. Anti-debug tags are common in apps.

Key signals · 5

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. engines: 0/71 malicious (17 tier1 clean)

  2. contactedIps: [162.159.36.2] (Cloudflare)

  4. prevalence.classification: medium

  5. behaviour.offensiveCount=1 (T1562.001)

Points in its favour
  • 0 malicious detections (71 engines, 17 tier1 clean)
  • Medium prevalence (18 sources)
  • No malicious sandbox verdict
  • No malicious dropped children
  • Behaviour consistent with WebView2 app
Points against
  • Direct IP connection (162.159.36.2) without DNS
  • Unsigned executable
  • Recent first submission (1 day old)
  • Offensive MITRE T1562.001 detected
  • detect-debug-environment tag

    Sample contacted 1 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
