Is sqlite3.dll safe?
No antivirus engine detected this established, CD PROJEKT-signed DLL, while publisher history and prevalence outweigh uncorroborated sandbox technique mappings.
All 74 antivirus engines were non-detecting, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the DLL has a verified CD PROJEKT S.A. signature. Although one sandbox mapped two offensive techniques and observed two direct-IP contacts, it produced no malicious verdict, and no complete host-reputation check was saved.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 74 antivirus engines were non-detecting, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the DLL has a verified CD PROJEKT S.A. signature. Although one sandbox mapped two offensive techniques and observed two direct-IP contacts, it produced no malicious verdict, and no complete host-reputation check was saved.
The strongest evidence is broad antivirus agreement: none of 74 engines flagged the DLL, including all 17 reporting tier-1 engines. Its signature verifies to CD PROJEKT S.A., and no brand mismatch or packing indicator was found. The file is established across 470 sources and 520 submissions, while five prior files sharing this signer received benign assessments. One sandbox mapped T1055 and T1562.001 and observed two IP contacts, but it produced no malicious verdict and no dropped child was identified as malware. Because the contacted-host cross-check is unavailable, those IPs remain an unresolved limitation rather than evidence of benign networking.
What We Detected
None of 74 antivirus engines flagged the DLL, including 17 tier-1 engines. The file carries a verified signature from CD PROJEKT S.A., has no detected brand mismatch, and shows no likely packing or high-entropy code. It is also well established, with 470 sources and 520 submissions over 431 days; five previous signer-matched files received benign assessments.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run mapped activity to T1055 and T1562.001 and observed connections to two external IP addresses. These mappings warrant attention, but the sandbox produced no malicious verdict, no persistence indicators were recorded, and none of 10 inspected dropped artifacts was identified as malicious. A complete reputation cross-check for the contacted IPs was not saved, so their status remains unresolved.
What To Do Now
Keep endpoint protection enabled and use the DLL only when it comes from the expected CD PROJEKT installation or official distribution channel. If it appeared in an unrelated directory or arrived separately, verify the digital signature and reinstall or repair the associated software from its official source.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The completed sandbox mapped activity to T1055 and T1562.001, techniques that can indicate process injection or defense impairment, although it issued no malicious sandbox verdict.
- behaviour.contactedIps lists 135.234.160.244 and 135.233.45.222, but contactedHosts=null, so no complete saved host-reputation result is available.
- signing.signerStats.totalSamples=1 provides limited direct signer-history depth despite the five matching prior signer verdicts.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 antivirus detections
- All 17 reporting tier-1 engines were non-detecting
- Verified CD PROJEKT S.A. signature
- 470 sources and 520 submissions over 431 days
- Five of five signer-matched prior verdicts were safe
- Sandbox mapping to T1055 process injection
- Sandbox mapping to T1562.001 defense impairment
- Two direct-IP contacts without a complete saved reputation check
- Direct signer statistics cover only one sample
Use the DLL when it belongs to a verified CD PROJEKT installation, and keep endpoint protection enabled. Investigate or replace it from the official source if its location or origin is unexpected.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
A community signature or high-severity behavioral heuristic matched. Signatures identify known patterns; heuristics are strong leads but are not proof on their own.
The saved runtime evidence maps this activity to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection). The mapping supports possible process injection, but it does not prove the exact injection method or the operator's intent.
Evidence"C:\Windows\sysnative\rundll32.exe" "C:\Users\<USER>\Desktop\sqlite3.dll",#1The sample contacted an external IP address directly and no application domain was recorded. Direct-IP traffic also occurs in legitimate installers and infrastructure, so this is supporting context only and requires corroboration from host reputation and other runtime evidence.

Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
How widely this file has been seen
Widely seen in the wild for a long time. High prior this is legitimate; isolated detections on common-old files are usually false positives.
