MT AI Engine · our arbiter

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

Zero malicious engine detections across a broad reporting base combined with a clean sandbox verdict outweigh the two heuristic rules that fired on process injection and direct-IP contact. The file shows medium prevalence from over 2000 sources and matches the portable utility pattern. Unsigned status is typical for this class of tool. No external intelligence or dropped malicious children contradict the clean profile.

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: 0 malicious out of 74 total (tier1Malicious=0, tier1ReportedClean=17)

  2. behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false and droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false

  3. prevalence.classification=medium with 2033 unique sources

  4. triggeredHeuristics[0].rule=MalwareTips.Synth.ProcessInjection (high severity) and [1].rule=MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2 (medium severity)

  5. externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0 and circl.hit=false

Points in its favour
  • Zero engine detections across 74 scanners
  • Clean sandbox verdict and no malicious children
  • Medium prevalence from 2033 unique sources
Points against
  • Unsigned executable inside archive
  • Direct-IP network contacts without DNS resolution
  • Process injection techniques observed in sandbox
What to do

The evidence supports treating the archive as safe for standard use after confirming the download origin.

  • 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:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Temp\CdiResource/AlertMail.exe"
  • DirectIpC2medium

    Sample contacted 6 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.

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.
