Is musicbee_remote_1.4.0.zip safe?
Single low-trust engine flags a 1990-day-old ZIP with no tier-1 support.
Only Cylance reports the file as Unsafe; all 17 tier-1 engines are silent. Medium prevalence and consistent naming indicate a benign MusicBee remote plugin archive.

Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
Only Cylance reports the file as Unsafe; all 17 tier-1 engines are silent. Medium prevalence and consistent naming indicate a benign MusicBee remote plugin archive.
The single detection originates from a low-trust engine while every tier-1 engine returns clean. The file has been circulating for nearly six years with steady but limited submissions and no sandbox or host-contact data. Filename pattern matches a legitimate MusicBee extension, and no brand mismatch or adversarial text is present.
What We Detected
One low-trust engine (Cylance) labelled the archive Unsafe; 64 engines returned undetected and 17 tier-1 engines reported clean.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution data, no dropped children, and no contacted-host reputation available. Static evidence shows only a portable ZIP with a numeric version string.
What To Do Now
Extract the archive with standard ZIP tools and inspect the contained plugin files before loading them into MusicBee. Keep endpoint protection enabled.
- 17 tier-1 engines clean
- medium prevalence over 1990 days
- filename matches expected MusicBee plugin pattern
The archive can be considered safe for normal use; scan extracted files with up-to-date security software before installation.
