Is ImagesShowSetUpOSDV2.4_20231221(4).exe safe?
Zero AV detections but sandbox shows process-injection, LSASS access and direct-IP traffic from an unknown signer.
No antivirus engine flagged the file, yet the sandbox recorded four offensive MITRE techniques including process injection and LSASS access. The signer lacks any prior history and similar imphash samples produced mixed verdicts.

Before running
Do not run it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.
If you already ran it
Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.
Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
No antivirus engine flagged the file, yet the sandbox recorded four offensive MITRE techniques including process injection and LSASS access. The signer lacks any prior history and similar imphash samples produced mixed verdicts.
All 74 engines returned clean, eliminating low-trust false-positive patterns. However, the single sandbox run mapped activity to T1055, T1134, T1485 and T1547.001, and the certificate holder has no reputation data. Three of five comparable imphash samples were previously rated suspicious, outweighing the clean engine results.
What We Detected
74 of 74 engines reported the sample clean. The executable is signed by Shanghai Sixunited Intelligent Technology Co., but that signer has no historical samples in our database. Sandbox execution recorded LSASS memory access, scheduled-task persistence, and eight direct-IP connections without domain names.
Threat Behavior
Observed MITRE techniques T1055 (process injection), T1134 (access token manipulation), T1485 (data destruction) and T1547.001 (registry run keys) are consistent with credential-dumping or persistence tooling. No dropped child files were flagged malicious and no external-intel hits were recorded.
What To Do Now
Do not execute the file on production systems. If installation is required, run it only in an isolated virtual machine and monitor for unexpected outbound traffic or new services named ImagesShowService.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- Zero engine detections and medium prevalence argue against active malware distribution.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Zero detections across 74 engines
- Medium prevalence (25 submitters)
- No malicious dropped children
- Unknown signer with no prior samples
- Sandbox observed LSASS access
- Direct-IP connections without domains
- Three of five similar imphash files previously rated suspicious
Treat as untrusted; run only in a controlled environment or obtain the software from an official vendor channel with verifiable provenance.

What this file does
Observed actions and their security significance
High concern: Created or modified a scheduled task, which can provide persistence.
High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.
High concern: Changed an auto-start location that can make code run after sign-in or restart.
Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.
Moderate concern: Runs hidden system commands (script or shell).
Moderate concern: Removed execution artefacts or logs, which can conceal activity.
Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.
These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

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.
Sandbox flagged persistence indicators (registry Run keys / services / scheduled tasks).
EvidenceImagesShowServiceThe 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.
EvidenceC:\Windows\Explorer.EXESandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.
EvidenceC:\Windows\system32\lsass.exeThe 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.
