Is ui.py safe?
No engine detected malware, and the completed sandbox run showed only routine system-information discovery with no offensive activity, persistence, or harmful network reputation.
None of 74 antivirus engines flagged this Python file, including all 17 reporting tier-1 engines. One completed sandbox run found no offensive techniques or persistence, while the sole contacted service had no malicious or suspicious cache classification; limited sample history remains the main uncertainty.

Before running
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
If you already ran it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
None of 74 antivirus engines flagged this Python file, including all 17 reporting tier-1 engines. One completed sandbox run found no offensive techniques or persistence, while the sole contacted service had no malicious or suspicious cache classification; limited sample history remains the main uncertainty.
The antivirus results are uniformly reassuring: 0 of 74 engines reported a malicious or suspicious finding. One completed sandbox run observed only system-information discovery, a common ambient action, and produced no malicious sandbox assessment. The file established contact with api.snapcraft.io, and the host check covered the sole distinct endpoint without finding a malicious or suspicious classification. No malicious child files, persistence indicators, YARA rules, or curated threat-intelligence matches were present. Confidence is tempered because this sample has been seen only once and is eight days old.
What We Detected
None of 74 antivirus engines flagged the Python file, and all 17 reporting tier-1 engines returned no detection. No malware family was identified, and YARAify, MalwareBazaar, and CIRCL supplied no corroborating threat match.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run recorded routine system-information discovery (T1082), with no offensive techniques, persistence indicators, or dropped files. The sample contacted api.snapcraft.io at 185.125.188.55; the host-reputation check covered this sole distinct endpoint and found no malicious or suspicious cache classification.
What To Do Now
The evidence supports normal handling, although the file is newly observed and lacks a long reputation history. Keep endpoint protection enabled and obtain scripts from a trusted source before running them, especially if their purpose is unclear.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- prevalence.classification=rare_new and file.ageDays=8 provide little long-term reputation history.
- signing.applicable=false means publisher identity cannot be validated through code signing for this Python source file.
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 of 74 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- All 17 reporting tier-1 engines returned no detection.
- One sandbox run found no offensive techniques or persistence.
- The sole contacted endpoint had no malicious or suspicious cache classification.
- No malicious child, YARA rule, or curated threat-intelligence match was found.
- The file is only eight days old and has one recorded submission.
- Python source files are not meaningfully covered by conventional executable code signing.
Normal handling is reasonable, but verify that the script came from the expected source before execution. Keep endpoint protection enabled and review the code if its purpose is uncertain.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
- Recovery step 02
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
- Recovery step 03
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
