Malicious
INI file masquerading as .url that chains cmd fetches, downloads embedded Python from suspicious Cloudflare tunnel, and shows injection/LSASS behavior.
6cd7a663e44d5e36cd…dbb3089084The reasoning behind this verdict
The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.
A single tier1 engine (Kaspersky) names it a WinINF Trojan, corroborated by strong behavioral signals: direct IP contacts, remote BAT execution, Python embed download/extract, and heuristics for injection/LSASS. Unsigned, brand new, and rare with no positive history. Clean engine majority and unknown children provide weak dissent but do not override the downloader pattern and offensive techniques.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

What this file does
What it attempted when executed in an isolated sandbox
High concern: Hides inside another running program to evade antivirus.
High concern: Talks to a remote server to take commands or send out your data.
High concern: Sets itself to run automatically every time you start your PC.
Moderate concern: Runs hidden system commands (script or shell).
Note: Reads your Windows user-account details.
Note: Collects details about your system.
Note: Loads extra code modules while running.
Translated from the file's technical behaviour during analysis. It never ran on your device.
Threat context
How downloaders work
This file is a delivery vehicle. On its own it can look small and harmless, but its job is to quietly pull down and install the REAL payload — often a stealer, ransomware, or bot — from a server the attacker controls.
Bottom line:Because the dangerous part arrives later, early scans can look cleaner than the threat really is.
What to do now
This file is dangerous. Treat it as harmful and remove it.
Don't open or run this file. Delete it from your Downloads (or wherever you saved it), then empty the Recycle Bin.
If you already opened it, disconnect from the internet and run a full scan with your antivirus — Windows Security, built into Windows, is sufficient.
If you typed any passwords while it was open, change them from a device you trust.
In future, only download software from the official website or an official app store.

YARA & heuristic rule matches
A researcher-curated or high-severity heuristic rule matched this sample. These rules target specific malware families and are near-definitive.
MITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.
EvidenceC:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted -p -s WdiSystemHostSandbox 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.exeSample contacted 7 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.

How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. This is the footprint of targeted malware the AV industry hasn't signatured yet — extra scrutiny is warranted.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about Mod. 347.url, answered from the scan data above.
- Yes — Mod. 347.url is malicious, so do not opened it, and delete it. 1 of 75 antivirus engines flag it (family: WinINF). It behaves as a downloader/dropper whose job is to pull additional malware onto the device. If you've already opened it, see the removal and recovery steps below.
- Mod. 347.url is a file (application/octet-stream), about 256 bytes. Our analysis identifies it as malicious (family: WinINF) — a downloader/dropper whose job is to pull additional malware onto the device. Because a file's name and icon can be faked, the safest way to identify it is by its cryptographic hash (below), not its filename.
- 1 of 75 antivirus engines flagged Mod. 347.url, 1 of them as outright malicious. A detection rate at this level is a reliable signal that the file is dangerous.
- Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
- To remove Mod. 347.url: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete the original Mod. 347.url file and empty the Recycle Bin/Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
- Mod. 347.url is classified as a downloader/dropper whose job is to pull additional malware onto the device. Engines attribute it to the WinINF family. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
- The SHA-256 hash of Mod. 347.url is 6cd7a663e44d5e36cdc7139b534dddf305437217acd341315a2b5bdbb3089084, and its MD5 is 6640d6a683374d7eef91cba4e6b8619b. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
- This report reflects the scan run on April 28, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Mod. 347.url is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
