Safe
Zero engine detections on an unsigned 6 MB Win32 EXE with clean sandbox behaviour and no malicious indicators.
a41a360817c8f3a8b9…1d210f7d6eThe 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.
The complete lack of detections across tier-1 and tier-2 engines combined with a clean sandbox verdict and zero malicious network or child activity supports a safe classification. Although the binary is unsigned and rare, the absence of any adversarial signals or brand-mismatch evidence removes the usual risk factors associated with unsigned executables. Historical RAG data is empty, but the current evidence set is internally consistent.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.
engines.malicious=0 and engines.tier1Malicious=0 across 69 reporting engines
signing.verified=false (unsigned) with signerStats.found=false
prevalence.classification=rare_old and similarHashes.length=0
behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false and no contactedHosts.maliciousHosts
- Zero malicious detections across all engine tiers
- Clean sandbox verdict with no malicious host contact
- No brand mismatch or adversarial filename signals
Treat the sample as safe; no further action required beyond standard unsigned-binary hygiene.

What this file did when executed
This file was detonated in 1 sandbox and its runtime behaviour was observed.
- C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UPnP Device Host\upnphost\udhisapi.dll
- Local\MSCTF.Asm.MutexDefault1
0 detections across 72 engines
Section entropy & packers
Section-level entropy and packer detection from the PE header. Nothing suspicious here — entropy is within the normal range for unpacked code.
How widely this file has been seen
Rarely uploaded, but has been around for a while. Often niche legitimate software or old internal tooling; not a strong malware signal on its own.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about sauerbraten_wc.exe, answered from the scan data above.
- sauerbraten_wc.exe appears safe. 72 of 72 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only run files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
- sauerbraten_wc.exe is a Windows executable program, about 6.2 MB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
- None — all 72 antivirus engines we queried report sauerbraten_wc.exe as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
- The SHA-256 hash of sauerbraten_wc.exe is a41a360817c8f3a8b92c7ff0476667229360dcf2acb9f561529d9b1d210f7d6e, and its MD5 is ec9206f9312b98e740c95c002eb03e4e. 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.
- Based on this scan, yes — sauerbraten_wc.exe shows no threat indicators. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
- This report reflects the scan run on July 17, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of sauerbraten_wc.exe 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.
