Why we think so
4 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 59 antivirus engines that checked it were free of detections, including 17 major antivirus engines, and the file has accumulated 7,015 submissions over several years. One sandbox recorded and direct-IP traffic, but produced no malicious runtime verdict; because host reputation was not fully checked, the script should still come from a trusted source.
The strongest evidence is the complete absence of detections across 74 antivirus engines, including all 17 participating major antivirus engines. The batch file is also broadly established, with 3,605 submitters and 7,015 submissions since May 2023, which weighs against a newly distributed threat. A completed sandbox run observed one offensive technique, T1562.001, along with otherwise common installer and network activity, but it did not issue a malicious verdict or record persistence. The medium-severity direct-IP rule is a genuine counter-signal, not a standalone finding of remote control. No complete host-reputation result is available for the observed IP addresses. No complete contacted-host reputation result was available. Research feeds, malicious-child checks, and engine family labels provide no corroborating malware evidence.
What We Detected
The file is a 1,633-byte DOS batch installer known since May 2023. It has been submitted 7,015 times by 3,605 distinct sources, indicating broad and long-standing circulation.
Threat Behavior
One sandbox run recorded T1562.001, a technique associated with impairing defenses, plus direct connections to several IP addresses. A medium-severity direct-IP rule-based therefore fired, but the sandbox did not return a malicious verdict, create persistence, or record a malicious file it created. The contacted-host reputation check was not completed or saved. No complete contacted-host reputation result was available.
What To Do Now
Only run the script if it came from the expected software vendor or another trusted source, and inspect its short batch contents if practical. Keep security software enabled and avoid running it with administrator privileges unless the installation genuinely requires them.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- One of our behaviour rules fired after direct-IP traffic was observed, and the missing contacted-host reputation result means those contacts did not receive a complete saved reputation cross-check.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/59 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- The hash has 3,605 unique sources and 7,015 submissions over more than three years.
- No sandbox returned a malicious verdict and no persistence indicators were recorded.
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify hit corroborated a threat.
- The sandbox's offensive-technique list includes T1562.001.
- One of our behaviour rules fired at medium severity.
- The missing contacted-host reputation result leaves the observed IP addresses without a complete saved reputation result.
- Batch scripts are unsigned by design, so publisher identity cannot be verified through code signing.
