The verdict, reasoned out.

Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

Reasoning

Zero malicious detections across 74 engines rules out strong tier-1 consensus, yet the sandbox recorded two offensive MITRE techniques and a direct-IP connection without DNS resolution. The MSI is unsigned and writes files into protected directories, behaviours atypical for commodity installers. Medium prevalence and installer filename hint provide some benign context, but the combination of injection, credential-store access, and C2 indicators outweighs that context. The absence of similar-hash RAG hits and external-intel corroboration leaves the classification borderline.

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. engines: 0 malicious out of 74 total (tier1Malicious=0)

  2. behaviour.offensiveTechniques: T1055 and T1548 observed in sandbox

  3. signing.verified=false and signing.signerStats.found=false

  4. prevalence.classification=medium with 3622 unique sources

  5. triggeredHeuristics: MalwareTips.Synth.ProcessInjection (high), MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2 (medium)

Points in its favour
  • Zero engine detections
  • Medium prevalence (3622 sources)
  • No malicious dropped children
Points against
  • Process injection (T1055) observed
  • Direct-IP C2 without DNS
  • Unsigned installer
  • LSASS memory access pattern
What to do

Treat as suspicious; isolate and analyse the dropped executables before allowing execution.

Our heuristics on VT data + sandbox behaviour
  • ProcessInjectionhigh

    MITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.

    Evidence
    C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService -p
  • CredentialDumpermedium

    Sandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.

    Evidence
    C:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe
  • 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.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
