Is ArtCraft_0.41.0_x64-setup.exe safe?
No antivirus engine detected this installer, but its unsigned status and one sandbox's process-injection and LSASS-access indicators justify caution pending publisher verification.
All 75 antivirus engines were silent, including 17 tier-1 engines, and no malicious child or inspected domain was identified. However, the unsigned installer produced possible process-injection and LSASS-access indicators in one sandbox, so it should only be used after confirming its hash and download source with the developer.

Before installing
Do not install it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.
If you already installed it
Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Download a fresh installer from the developer's official site or an official app store.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 antivirus engines were silent, including 17 tier-1 engines, and no malicious child or inspected domain was identified. However, the unsigned installer produced possible process-injection and LSASS-access indicators in one sandbox, so it should only be used after confirming its hash and download source with the developer.
The strongest reassuring signal is that 0 of 75 engines detected the file, with all 17 tier-1 engines silent. It is also already distributed across 269 sources, is not apparently packed, and produced no confirmed malicious child among ten inspected files. Against that, the executable has no verified signature and one runtime report mapped activity to process injection, token manipulation, data destruction, and possible LSASS access. That sandbox did not issue a malware finding, and the installer-like filesystem and registry changes provide a plausible benign context, but they do not fully explain the offensive indicators. Similar-file history is mixed and based only on a shared imphash without signer correlation, so it carries little weight. Overall, the evidence favors a false alarm more than malware, but not strongly enough to dismiss the runtime concerns.
What We Detected
No antivirus engine flagged the sample: 0 of 75 detections, including no alerts from 17 tier-1 engines. The file is an unsigned Windows installer with no family consensus, no external research-rule matches, no brand mismatch, and no signs of packing or unusually high-entropy code.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run did not produce a malicious sandbox finding, but it mapped activity to T1055, T1134, and T1485. A separate heuristic reported process activity targeting LSASS, which can resemble credential-dumping behavior. The sample also created application files, shortcuts, and uninstall registry entries consistent with installation. Ten dropped children were inspected without a confirmed malicious child, although their individual verdicts remain unknown. Reputation checks covered both contacted domains and found no known malicious or suspicious entries, but the observed IP was not covered, so a complete host-reputation result is unavailable.
What To Do Now
Verify SHA-256 cb15da474ae36a7a7f930a6e9916be2794e7cc84c3340b531c38eabc82f4363e against the developer's official release information and download only from the official channel. If the hash cannot be authenticated, avoid running it on a production system; keep endpoint protection enabled and use an isolated test environment if further validation is necessary.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- The executable is unsigned: signing.applicable=true and signing.signed=false, leaving no publisher identity to authenticate.
- One sandbox mapped possible process injection to T1055 and activity targeting LSASS, patterns that warrant caution despite the absence of engine detections.
- contactedHosts.inspected=2 does not cover the observed IP 162.159.36.2, so no complete host-reputation result is available.
- All 10 dropped children have unknown individual verdicts, so hasMaliciousChild=false is not equivalent to ten independently cleared files.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0 of 75 antivirus engines detected the file
- All 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection
- No malicious sandbox verdict was recorded
- No confirmed malicious child among 10 inspected files
- 269 sources submitted the file 277 times
- Unsigned executable with no authenticated publisher
- Possible process injection mapped to T1055
- Sandbox heuristic reported activity targeting LSASS
- Additional offensive mappings include T1134 and T1485
- Only one completed sandbox observation
- Ten dropped children remain individually unclassified
Confirm the SHA-256 hash and installer source with the developer before execution. If authenticity cannot be established, do not install it on a primary system; keep endpoint protection enabled.

What this file does
Observed actions and their security significance
High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.
High concern: Changed an auto-start location that can make code run after sign-in or restart.
High concern: Manipulated how the operating system loads code, which can redirect execution.
Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.
Moderate concern: Runs hidden system commands (script or shell).
Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.
Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.
These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

The available sources did not agree on a named threat category.
MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL hashlookup completed and returned no entries for this hash.
Signatures and behavior heuristics
A community signature or high-severity behavioral heuristic matched. Signatures identify known patterns; heuristics are strong leads but are not proof on their own.
The saved runtime evidence maps this activity to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection). The mapping supports possible process injection, but it does not prove the exact injection method or the operator's intent.
EvidenceC:\Windows\Explorer.EXESandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.
