Verdict Safe
Is helm_
None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this Python script, although its very limited history and lack of the test run warrant ordinary execution precautions.

Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.

Why we think so
3 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
No antivirus engine flagged the script, including the 17 reporting major antivirus engines, and no malware-specific external intelligence matched it. Because it is and has no completed sandbox run, review the source and run it only in an appropriate isolated environment if its origin is uncertain.
The reporting major antivirus engines, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, BitDefender, and Fortinet, supplied no detection, and no named threat family emerged. Malware-specific external intelligence also returned no match. However, the script has only one submission and was first observed on Oct 12, 2026, so it lacks established reputation. No completed observation from the test run or complete host-reputation cross-check is available, making this conclusion primarily dependent on static scanning.
What We Detected
None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the Python script. The 17 reporting major antivirus engines supplied no detection, and neither the malware repository check nor malware-specific YARA research produced a match.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox run completed, so there is no observed process, file, persistence, or network behavior to assess. A complete reputation check for any hosts the script might contact when it ran is also unavailable; the current evidence is therefore static rather than behavioral.
What To Do Now
If the script came from an expected source, its code should still be reviewed before execution because Python files can perform arbitrary actions. When provenance is uncertain, inspect dependencies and URLs, then test it in an isolated environment while keeping security software enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The file was first observed on Oct 12, 2026 and has only one submission, so reputation and prevalence are not yet established.
- No sandbox run completed, and no complete reputation check is available for potential runtime contacts; static scanning cannot establish what the script would do when executed.
- The two prior favorable results match only on Python file type, which is weak similarity and does not identify this script.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- All 17 reporting major antivirus engines supplied no detection.
- No malware repository or malware-specific YARA match was found.
- No filename-disguise, brand-conflict, or suspicious rule was identified.
- The script was first observed on Oct 12, 2026 and has only one recorded submission.
- No completed sandbox run is available to show what the script does when executed.
- No complete reputation assessment is available for possible runtime network destinations.
