Verdict Suspicious
Is Xeno- v1. 3. 65. exe safe? Treat it as suspicious.
Three malware-specific YARA matches, a failed signature, one detection from a major antivirus engine, and divided sandbox results outweigh the file's broad distribution and…
Read the whole reasonShow less
Why Suspicious? One antivirus engine (Dr.Web) flags it and a community rule for known malware matched it.
Moderate evidence · More than one sign points to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful.
If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.
What to do now4 steps
Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.
What to do
Don't run it unless you're sure where it came from.
Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.
If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.
If you already ran it
Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.
Not sure what to do?

Why we think so
4 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This executable carries several independent warning signs: three malware-specific YARA matches, a failed certificate chain, and a DrWeb trojan detection. Sandbox conclusions were divided rather than conclusive, while broad distribution and benign file it created references provide counterweight, so it should not be run outside an isolated research environment.
One of the 52 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable, with DrWeb using a generic Siggen36 trojan label rather than identifying a reliable malware family. More importantly, three malware-specific YARA rules matched patterns associated with a bot framework, a modified packer hook, and clipboard manipulation. The signature merely claims the name Rizve A because its certificate chain ends at an untrusted root, so it cannot establish authorship. Sandbox conclusions were divided between malicious and clean, and the uncorroborated technique mappings do not prove injection, credential theft, or encryption. Broad distribution across 3,654 sources and seven known-software files it created are meaningful counter-signals, but they do not adequately neutralize the combined hostile evidence.
What We Detected
DrWeb was the only engine to flag the executable, reporting a generic Siggen36 trojan label. Three malware-specific YARA rules also matched patterns associated with a bot framework, a modified packer hook, and clipboard manipulation. No dependable malware-family consensus was established.
Threat Behavior
The sandbox evidence was divided: the combined results included both malicious and clean labels. No named injection target, credential-store access, persistence indicator, or sample-originated network contact was recorded, so the technique mappings alone do not demonstrate those actions. The claimed publisher certificate failed verification because its chain ended at an untrusted root.
What To Do Now
Do not run this executable on a normal or production system. Keep security software enabled, obtain the file from a verifiable official release channel, and use an isolated disposable environment only if analysis is necessary.
Where this verdict could be wrong5 caveats
- Only 1 of the 52 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable, and several major engines that reported a result did not detect it.
- The file was submitted by 3,654 distinct sources, indicating broad distribution.
- Seven inspected files it created matched known-software reference entries, and none of the inspected children was malicious or suspicious.
- The sandbox evidence was divided: one combined label was malicious while another was clean.
- The three prior safe files with the same import-table fingerprint had different or unverified publishers, so those matches provide only weak reassurance.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Only 1 of the 52 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable.
- The file was submitted by 3,654 distinct sources.
- Seven inspected files it created matched known-software reference records, with no malicious or suspicious child verdicts.
- No sample-originated network contact or named injection target was recorded.
- The antivirus analysis found no high-entropy code or identified packer.
- Three malware-specific community rules matched patterns involving a bot framework, a modified packer hook, and clipboard manipulation.
- DrWeb reported a generic trojan detection.
- The publisher certificate failed verification because its chain ended at an untrusted root.
- Sandbox conclusions included both a malicious and a clean result, leaving unresolved runtime concern.

What the test run showed
What the file did on a test computer
Confirmed in the test run
High concern: Encrypted files on the test computer, as ransomware does.
Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).
Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.
Moderate concern: Unpacked hidden content while it ran.
Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.
Note: Read the user name of the test computer.
Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.
Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as password-store access, but nothing touched the Windows password store.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as contacting a server, but no contacted host was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as setting up auto-start; no auto-start entry was recorded.
This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.
EvidenceT1055 (sandbox MITRE mapping)VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1003 (OS Credential Dumping), but no process targeting LSASS or another credential store was recorded. VirusTotal maps T1003 on clean files more often than on detected ones, so the mapping alone is not evidence of credential theft.
