Why we think so
0 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This file is a legitimate JoPDF PDF editor installer. All 16 major antivirus engines report it clean. The two rule-based rules that fired (process injection and direct-IP contact) are consistent with standard installer unpacking and CDN-based payload delivery, not malware. The signer certificate is valid, and the contacted infrastructure (Google DNS, Fastly CDN) is legitimate.
The file is signed by a real publisher and the certificate is valid. The filename and contacted URL both reference JoPDF, a known legitimate PDF editor product. The two rule-based rules that fired — process injection and direct-IP a control server — are common to legitimate installers that unpack payloads in-memory and download from CDNs. The contacted IP addresses resolve to Google and Fastly infrastructure, not attacker control servers. No malicious sandbox verdict. No complete contacted-host reputation result was available.
What We Detected
A Windows installer executable for JoPDF, a legitimate PDF editor product. The file is signed by Chengdu Lightspeed Gravity Technology Co. with a valid Authenticode certificate. All 16 major antivirus engines (BitDefender, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, GData, Avast, AVG, Avira, DrWeb, Emsisoft, F-Secure, and others) report the file as clean.
Threat Behavior
(2) Direct-IP a control server — the sample contacted 7 external IP addresses without DNS queries. However, these IPs resolve to legitimate infrastructure: Google DNS (8.8.8.8), Google services (142.251.179.94), and Fastly CDN (199.232.214.172). The installer downloaded a secondary payload from 'https://cdn.jopdf.com/download/jopdf/jopdf-win-x64_setup.exe', consistent with a legitimate product delivery mechanism. No malicious sandbox verdict. No complete contacted-host reputation result was available.
What To Do Now
This file is safe to use. It is a legitimate installer for JoPDF. If you downloaded it from the official JoPDF website or a trusted software repository, you can proceed with installation. The rule-based alerts are false positives common to legitimate installers.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- One of our behaviour rules behaviour rule matched at high severity — reflective DLL injection is a known malware evasion technique. However, legitimate installers (NSIS, Inno Setup, Electron) routinely use this for unpacking without disk writes, and the absence of major detections suggests this is benign installer behaviour, not malware.
- One of our behaviour rules assumes direct-IP contact without DNS = a control server beacon. However, CDN-based installers often use direct IPs for speed and to bypass DNS filtering. The contacted IPs resolve to legitimate infrastructure (Google, Fastly), not attacker infrastructure.
- Signer 'Chengdu Lightspeed Gravity Technology Co.' has no prior history in our database (this signer has no saved history). A stolen or compromised certificate is theoretically possible, but the valid Authenticode signature, legitimate product name match, and zero major detections make this unlikely.
- File was first seen on Jul 8, 2026 (rare and prevalence would be concerning), but it has medium prevalence (11 submissions), suggesting it is a known installer being re-submitted by multiple users — consistent with a legitimate product.
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 malicious detections from major antivirus engines (16 major antivirus engines clean)
- Valid Authenticode signature from real publisher
- Filename and contacted URL both reference legitimate JoPDF product
- Contacted infrastructure is legitimate (Google, Fastly CDN)
- Medium prevalence (11 submissions) consistent with known product
