MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.

82%Confidence
High
Reasoning

Zero malicious detections across a broad engine set outweigh the three synthesis heuristics. The signer is a known remote-monitoring vendor and the MSI behaviour matches legitimate installer activity. No dropped malicious children, no malicious host contacts, and no YARA or CIRCL corroboration exist. The combination of verified signing, clean engine consensus, and absence of runtime malice supports a safe classification.

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: 0 malicious out of 75 total (16 tier-1 clean)

  2. signing.verified=true, signer='Atera Networks Ltd'

  3. triggeredHeuristics: MalwareTips.Synth.ProcessInjection, MalwareTips.Synth.CredentialDumper, MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2

  4. droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false, behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false

Points in its favour
  • 0/75 engines malicious
  • Signed by verified Atera Networks Ltd certificate
  • No malicious dropped children or sandbox verdicts
Points against
  • Three synthesis heuristics flagged MITRE T1055 and direct-IP contact
Recommended action

Allow the installer to proceed; monitor for any unexpected post-install behaviour typical of remote-monitoring tools.

  • 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.

  • DirectIpC2medium

    Sample contacted 5 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.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about eDocument-Update.msi, answered from the scan data above.

Before using the site

  • eDocument-Update.msi appears safe. 75 of 75 antivirus engines report it clean. It carries a verified digital signature from Atera Networks Ltd. As a habit, only run files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
  • eDocument-Update.msi is a software installer, about 8.2 MB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. It carries a verified digital signature from Atera Networks Ltd. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
  • Yes — eDocument-Update.msi carries a valid digital signature from Atera Networks Ltd, which confirms the file hasn't been tampered with since that publisher signed it. A valid signature is a positive signal, but note that malware is occasionally signed with stolen or abused certificates, so it isn't proof of safety on its own.
  • The SHA-256 hash of eDocument-Update.msi is 4b736306a49852847d59c4cfae6e83868b14a338bb43f76d23e4a6e20d7dad70, and its MD5 is 23a7008fca7801fb1803f9f5135438d2. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
  • Based on this scan, yes — eDocument-Update.msi shows no threat indicators and is properly signed. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
  • This report reflects the scan run on July 16, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of eDocument-Update.msi is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.

Technical questions

  • None — all 75 antivirus engines we queried report eDocument-Update.msi as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.

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.
