File verdict·Decided by the MT AI Engine
Our call

Suspicious

Signed Screenpresso executable shows unusual process injection and LSASS access patterns despite clean engine scans, warranting caution.

The verdict, reasoned out.

Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

Reasoning

The file is clean across 71 engines including all tier-1 scanners, providing strong evidence of no known malware signatures. However, behavioral heuristics highlight process injection (T1055) and credential dumping patterns targeting LSASS, which are atypical for benign software. High code entropy and packing further contribute to suspicion, echoed by a prior similar imphash verdict. The verified signature by Learnpulse SAS (publisher of Screenpresso) is a positive but outweighed by these signals without historical signer data.

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. triggeredHeuristics 'MalwareTips.Synth.ProcessInjection' fired (high severity, T1055, svchost.exe evidence)

  2. triggeredHeuristics 'MalwareTips.Synth.CredentialDumper' fired (medium, lsass.exe evidence)

  5. similarHashes[0].verdict='suspicious' (matchKind=imphash)

Points in its favour
  • 0/71 engines malicious (17 tier1 clean)
  • Verified Authenticode signature
  • Medium prevalence, no malicious children
  • No external intel hits or malicious contacts
Points against
  • Process injection heuristic (T1055, svchost.exe)
  • LSASS targeting (credential dump shape)
  • High entropy code (7.62) and likely packed
  • Offensive MITRE techniques (5 total)
  • No signer history (Learnpulse SAS new to us)
  • Similar imphash previously suspicious
What to do

Do not run unless verified from official Learnpulse sources. If needed for screen capture, download fresh from the vendor site and re-scan. Consider alternatives if behavior persists.

Our heuristics on VT data + sandbox behaviour
  • ProcessInjectionhigh

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

    Evidence
    C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService -p
  • 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.
