Reasoning

The evidence strongly indicates this is a malicious trojan dropper. Ten tier-1 antivirus engines report malware families (ABTrojan, Trojan-Dropper.PowerShell.Agent, Trojan:Win32/Suschil, Trojan.GenericKD), with 3 engines converging on the win32 family — this tier-1 consensus is a high-confidence malware signal. The filename 'CN_GreenLumaGUI' references GreenLuma, a known game-licensing bypass tool frequently used in trojan distribution chains. The sample contacted an external IP address (162.159.36.2) without any DNS domain queries, which our heuristic engine flagged as direct-IP C2 communication — a hallmark of malware command infrastructure designed to evade reputation-based blocklists. Sandbox execution shows the ZIP was decompressed using 7za.exe and an embedded executable (CN_GreenLumaGUI.exe) was launched from the temp directory, consistent with dropper behaviour. The unsigned status and embedded PE content further support the malicious classification.

Key signals · 5

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. tier1Malicious=10 engines (Avast, AVG, Avira, BitDefender, Emsisoft, F-Secure, Fortinet, G-Data, Ikarus, Microsoft) flagging malware families

  2. tier1FamilyConsensus.strong=true — 3 tier-1 engines agree on 'win32' family classification

  3. Unsigned PE-containing ZIP; filename 'CN_GreenLumaGUI' matches known game-licensing bypass tool used in trojan distribution

  4. triggeredHeuristics: MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2 fired (medium severity) — direct IP contact (162.159.36.2) with zero DNS domains indicates C2 communication

  5. Behaviour: T1562.001 (Impair Defenses) offensive technique; sandbox shows extraction and execution of embedded executable from temp directory

Points in its favour
  • Dropped children (2 inspected) not confirmed malicious in our cache
Points against
  • 10 tier-1 antivirus engines report malware families
  • Tier-1 family consensus (win32) across 3 high-trust engines
  • Direct IP-based C2 communication (162.159.36.2) with zero DNS queries
  • Unsigned executable embedded in ZIP archive
  • Filename references GreenLuma, a known game-licensing bypass tool used in trojan distribution
  • Sandbox execution shows extraction and launch of embedded executable from temp directory
What to do

Block and quarantine this file immediately. Do not execute under any circumstances. If already executed, perform a full system scan and change all credentials from a clean device.

  • DirectIpC2medium

    Sample contacted 1 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.
