The verdict, reasoned out.

Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

Reasoning

The engine distribution matches the low-trust-only false-positive archetype exactly. Medium prevalence and multi-year age argue against a novel threat. Sandbox and dropped-file results are clean. The two synthesis heuristics are legitimate signals but insufficient to override the dominant safe indicators when tier-1 coverage is unanimous clean.

Key signals · 4

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

  1. engines.onlyLowTrustFlagging=true with tier1Malicious=0 (Jiangmin sole flag)

  2. prevalence.classification=medium (98 uniqueSources since 2018-01-11)

  3. behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false and droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false

  4. externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0 and circl.knownMalicious=null

Points in its favour
  • Zero tier-1 malicious detections
  • Medium prevalence over 8 years
  • No malicious sandbox verdict or children
Points against
  • Process injection technique observed (T1055)
  • Direct-IP network contact without DNS
What to do

Treat as safe; the single low-trust flag is a classic false positive on an established file.

  • ProcessInjectionhigh

    MITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.

  • DirectIpC2medium

    Sample contacted 18 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.
