Why we think so
1 point against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Our static analysis found one entry inside with no executable, script, shortcut or disguised file, and no rule matched. Public malware databases and community rule sets have no record of it either.
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, and all 18 major antivirus engines reported it clean. Our static analysis opened the archive and found a single entry that is not an executable, script or shortcut. That entry carries no disguise, no path tricks and no encryption. MalwareBazaar, YARAify and the CIRCL reference database have no matches for it. The file is new and rare, and no sandbox run exists, but nothing in it can run code by itself.
What We Detected
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this 2 KB gzip-compressed tar archive, including all 18 major antivirus engines. Our static analysis found one entry inside. That entry contains no executables, scripts, shortcuts, disguised files, encryption or path-traversal tricks, and none of our static rules matched. Public malware databases and community YARA rules returned no hits.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox run was recorded, so no behaviour in the test run is described here. Based on its static contents, the archive carries nothing that executes on its own. It is new and has been seen by only one submitter.
What To Do Now
The archive can be extracted normally. As with any download, open its contents only if you trust where the file came from.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The archive is and seen by only one submitter, so there is little community history to confirm it.
- No sandbox run was performed, though the archive holds no executable or script that would need one.
