Is CN_GreenLumaGUI.v1.6.14.24149.zip safe?
10 tier-1 antivirus engines detect this unsigned ZIP as a trojan dropper with direct-IP C2 communication and embedded malware.
This file is flagged by 10 high-trust antivirus engines (Microsoft, BitDefender, Avast, Avira, Emsisoft, F-Secure, Fortinet, G-Data, Ikarus, AVG) as a trojan family, with 3 tier-1 engines converging on the win32 classification. The sample exhibits direct IP-based command-and-control communication (162.159.36.2) with zero DNS queries, a strong indicator of malware C2 infrastructure. Sandbox analysis shows extraction and execution of an embedded executable from a temporary directory.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
This file is flagged by 10 high-trust antivirus engines (Microsoft, BitDefender, Avast, Avira, Emsisoft, F-Secure, Fortinet, G-Data, Ikarus, AVG) as a trojan family, with 3 tier-1 engines converging on the win32 classification. The sample exhibits direct IP-based command-and-control communication (162.159.36.2) with zero DNS queries, a strong indicator of malware C2 infrastructure. Sandbox analysis shows extraction and execution of an embedded executable from a temporary directory.
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.
What We Detected
This is a ZIP archive containing an embedded Windows executable. Ten high-trust antivirus engines (Microsoft, BitDefender, Avast, Avira, Emsisoft, F-Secure, Fortinet, G-Data, Ikarus, AVG) independently flagged the sample as malware, with 3 tier-1 engines converging on the win32 trojan family. The file is unsigned and has no legitimate publisher history.
Threat Behavior
Sandbox analysis reveals the sample extracts and executes an embedded executable (CN_GreenLumaGUI.exe) from a temporary directory using 7za.exe decompression. The executed payload contacted an external IP address (162.159.36.2) using direct IP-based communication with zero DNS queries — a strong indicator of command-and-control infrastructure designed to bypass domain reputation systems. The sample also exhibits the T1562.001 technique (Impair Defenses), suggesting it attempts to disable security controls. The filename references GreenLuma, a known game-licensing bypass tool frequently leveraged in trojan distribution chains.
What To Do Now
Do not execute this file. Remove it immediately from your system if present. If you have already run this file, assume your system may be compromised and perform a full antivirus scan, change all passwords from a clean device, and monitor for unauthorized access. Consider consulting a professional incident responder if you suspect active compromise.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- Dropped children (2 inspected) both have unknown verdicts rather than confirmed malicious — if both children are benign, the parent's threat level could be lower; however, hasMaliciousChild=false does not mean the children are safe, only that they were not already verdicted malicious in our cache.
- No malicious sandbox verdict recorded (hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false) — sandbox may have timed out or the sample may have detected the analysis environment (T1497 Virtualization/Sandbox Evasion is present); absence of a recorded malicious verdict is not absence of malicious behaviour.
- Prevalence 'medium' and only 37 days old — could theoretically be a newly-discovered legitimate tool; however, the tier-1 consensus and direct-IP C2 pattern strongly contradict this scenario.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Dropped children (2 inspected) not confirmed malicious in our cache
- 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
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.

What this file does
Observed actions and their security significance
High concern: Attempted to impair or bypass security controls.
Moderate concern: Checked the environment for virtualisation or analysis tools.
Note: Collects details about your system.
Note: Connected to 1 server during sandbox analysis.
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.
Threat context
How trojans work
A trojan disguises itself as something useful or harmless to trick you into running it. Once open, it does its real job in the background — anything from stealing data to opening a back door or downloading more malware.
Bottom line:The disguise is the whole trick, so a trustworthy-looking name or icon means nothing.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Behavioral heuristics matched patterns associated with malware. Corroborating evidence determines how much weight they carry.
The sample contacted an external IP address directly and no application domain was recorded. Direct-IP traffic also occurs in legitimate installers and infrastructure, so this is supporting context only and requires corroboration from host reputation and other runtime evidence.
