Suspicious

Reasoning

The sample exhibits two offensive MITRE techniques (process injection and credential-dumping) that are hallmarks of credential-theft malware and post-exploitation tools. However, these detections rest entirely on sandbox heuristics and a single low-trust engine (MaxSecure) flagging a generic label. No tier-1 antivirus engine (Kaspersky, BitDefender, Microsoft, ESET, Avast, etc.) has flagged the sample, and external intelligence sources (CIRCL, YARAify, MalwareBazaar) return no hits. The dropped children are inspected but unconfirmed. The rare-new prevalence and unsigned status add uncertainty. This profile — offensive behaviour + low-trust-only detection + zero tier-1 consensus — is consistent with either a genuinely novel malware sample not yet catalogued by major engines, or a false positive from heuristic overfitting.

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.malicious=1/67 reporting, tier1Malicious=0, onlyLowTrustFlagging=true — MaxSecure (low-trust) only detection

  2. MaxSecure label 'Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen' is generic heuristic, no named family consensus

  3. triggeredHeuristics: T1055 (Process Injection) and T1562.001 (LSASS credential dumping) observed in sandbox, but behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false

  4. prevalence.classification=rare_new, 1 submitter, 0 days old — no established reputation or signer history

  5. droppedChildren: 2 inspected, 0 malicious, hasMaliciousChild=false; no external-intel hits (CIRCL, YARAify, MalwareBazaar all negative)

Points in its favour
  • All 17 tier-1 antivirus engines report clean or undetected
  • No external-intelligence corroboration (CIRCL, YARAify, MalwareBazaar all negative)
  • No malicious contacted hosts or domains
  • Dropped children inspected but not confirmed malicious
Points against
  • Process injection into legitimate Windows services (T1055)
  • LSASS credential-store access (credential-dumping pattern)
  • Unsigned executable in ZIP archive
  • Rare-new prevalence (1 submitter, 0 days old)
  • Generic heuristic detection label (no named family)
What to do

Isolate and monitor this file pending further analysis. The offensive sandbox behaviour (process injection, credential-dumping) is concerning, but the absence of tier-1 engine consensus and external-intelligence hits suggests this may be a false positive or a genuinely novel sample not yet catalogued. Re-submit if you have additional context or if the dropped children are later confirmed malicious.

  • ProcessInjectionhigh

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

  • CredentialDumpermedium

    Sandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.

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.
