The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

It was submitted by 156 distinct sources, and the combined sandbox verdict was clean. It is unsigned, so confirm it was downloaded from the official project.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The file is unsigned, so there is no publisher signature to confirm it is the official OpenSSL installer build.
  • Two files built with the same import table were earlier rated suspicious and unknown, but those matches reflect the shared Inno Setup framework and are weak.

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

What is Win64OpenSSL_Light-4_0_3.exe?
Win64OpenSSL_Light-4_0_3.exe is a Windows program, about 5.7 MB. Its version information says it is “OpenSSL Light (64-bit) Setup” (OpenSSL Light (64-bit)). Version information is written by whoever built the file, so it is a claim, not proof of who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Sep 29, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected Win64OpenSSL_Light-4_0_3.exe?
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag Win64OpenSSL_Light-4_0_3.exe. 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 Win64OpenSSL_Light-4_0_3.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Win64OpenSSL_Light-4_0_3.exe is 231f7b0e1f8863487aa2b54cee329881ada2112020b23dac4c8b2c3990daeca6, and its MD5 is 82a0fc39fdb8b1c68a31902299c6960c.

Is it safe to run Win64OpenSSL_Light-4_0_3.exe?
We found nothing harmful in Win64OpenSSL_Light-4_0_3.exe. 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 Win64OpenSSL_Light-4_0_3.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 23, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
