Is MeteorAdditions-1.2.0 (1).jar safe?
No antivirus engine identified this JAR as malware, and the sandbox issued no malicious verdict, though one unchecked direct-IP contact warrants source verification.
All 75 antivirus engines were free of detections, including the reporting tier-1 products, and one sandbox produced no malicious verdict. Two offensive-technique mappings and a direct IP connection introduce limited uncertainty because the contacted host lacked a completed reputation check.

Before opening or running
Open or run it only when its publisher and download source have been independently verified.
If you already opened or ran it

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 antivirus engines were free of detections, including the reporting tier-1 products, and one sandbox produced no malicious verdict. Two offensive-technique mappings and a direct IP connection introduce limited uncertainty because the contacted host lacked a completed reputation check.
The strongest evidence is the absence of detections across 75 antivirus engines, with no tier-1 engine identifying a threat. One completed sandbox run did not assign a malicious verdict and recorded no persistence indicators or registry modifications. It nevertheless mapped activity to T1543.002 and T1562.001 and observed a direct connection to 162.159.36.2. Because contactedHosts is null, that address cannot be characterized as benign or malicious from the available host-reputation evidence. No external intelligence hit or malicious dropped child corroborates the behavioral concerns, making them insufficient to outweigh the broader evidence.
What We Detected
None of 75 antivirus engines flagged the JAR, and engines.tier1Malicious=0. External research sources also produced no CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, or YARAify match.
Threat Behavior
One sandbox run mapped T1543.002 and T1562.001 and observed a direct connection to 162.159.36.2. The run produced no malicious sandbox verdict, persistence indicator, or registry modification. Host reputation was not completely checked because contactedHosts is unavailable, and the six dropped children remain individually unclassified despite no known malicious child being found.
What To Do Now
Obtain the JAR from its official project or release page and verify its SHA-256 hash before running it. Keep endpoint protection enabled and use an isolated environment if the download source cannot be confirmed.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- behaviour.offensiveTechniques includes T1543.002 and T1562.001, techniques associated with service manipulation and impairment of defenses.
- The sandbox contacted 162.159.36.2 directly, while contactedHosts=null means its reputation was not completely checked.
- All 6 inspected dropped children have unknown verdicts, so hasMaliciousChild=false does not establish that they are benign.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- engines.tier1Malicious=0, with 16 tier-1 engines reporting no detection.
- behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false.
- droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false.
- No CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, or YARAify hit was found.
- Sandbox activity mapped to offensive techniques T1543.002 and T1562.001.
- Direct connection to 162.159.36.2 triggered MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
- Six dropped children remain individually unclassified.
Use the file only if its source and SHA-256 hash can be verified against the project's official release. Keep endpoint protection enabled and isolate execution when provenance is uncertain.

Detection sources at a glance
The available sources did not agree on a named threat category.
MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL hashlookup completed and returned no entries for this hash.
Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
The 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.
