Is Paracord-0.9.0.zip safe? Not fully confirmed.

ZIP archive with zero engine detections but submitted only once when we scanned it on Jul 10, 2026.

Why not Safe? Only one source had seen it when we scanned it and no sandbox test run results are available.

Limited evidence · Nothing points to a problem, but little confirms who made it.

Keep normal caution and get it from the official source

Treat as unverified until the contents can be inspected or the source confirmed; re-scan after extraction.

Good practice2 tips

Low Risk: no threat found, but we could not fully confirm this file.

  1. Get it from the publisher's own website or app store, not from a re-upload or a link someone sent you.

  2. Keep your security software on, and stop if the file does anything you didn't expect.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

It is a rare submission with no signer or sandbox data, leaving its nature undetermined.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • Archive with rare and prevalence could be a legitimate open-source release or an untrusted first-time upload; absence of detections does not prove safety for a file.
  • No sandbox execution data available, so behaviour in the test run cannot be confirmed.

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