Why we think so
3 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
One sandbox run returned clean, but the encrypted archive contains executables and one extracted child lacks a saved verdict, so verify the source before running them.
The strongest evidence is the absence of detections across 75 engines, including all 17 major participants. The archive is also well established, with 3,578 submitters and 7,205 submissions since 2021, which weighs against a newly distributed threat. A completed sandbox run extracted the contents and returned clean, with no persistence indicators or sample-attributed network contacts recorded. The technique mapping is a meaningful caution, but it lacks corroboration from engine detections, a hostile sandbox verdict, or external intelligence. Because the archive is encrypted and the recorded extracted child has no saved verdict, the contents should still be handled cautiously.
What We Detected
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the RAR archive, including 17 major antivirus engines. The file has been submitted 7,205 times by 3,578 sources since 2021, indicating broad and longstanding circulation. External researcher feeds supplied no malware-family or malware-specific YARA corroboration.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run extracted the password-protected archive and returned a clean result. It recorded no persistence indicators and no sample-attributed network contacts. One extracted child has no saved verdict, so its status remains unconfirmed rather than benign.
What To Do Now
Obtain the archive from a trusted source and scan each extracted executable separately before launch. Keep security software enabled, and avoid running the contents with administrator privileges unless their origin and purpose are verified.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The sandbox mapped defense-impairment technique T1562.001, which warrants caution even though the run itself returned a clean result.
- The encrypted archive extracted executable content, and the one recorded file it created has no saved verdict, leaving its safety unconfirmed.
- Complete contacted-host reputation coverage is unavailable, although the completed run recorded no sample-attributed network contacts.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the archive.
- All 17 major antivirus engines that returned results reported no detection.
- The file has circulated broadly since 2021, with 3,578 submitters and 7,205 submissions.
- The completed sandbox run returned clean and recorded no persistence indicators.
- No malware-specific external intelligence matched the file.
- The archive is encrypted and contains executable files, limiting direct inspection of its contents.
- One extracted child has no saved assessment, so its safety is not established.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
