Is Galaxy.dll safe?

Verdict
Safe

No engine detected Galaxy.dll, its CD PROJEKT signature verifies, and five signer-matched files have prior clean outcomes despite isolated behavioral heuristics.

All 74 antivirus engines produced no malware or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the DLL carries a verified CD PROJEKT S.A. signature. Although one sandbox mapped several offensive-capable techniques and an external IP contact, it issued no malware finding, and five signer-matched files have prior clean outcomes.

Use with normal care

Keep endpoint protection enabled and use this DLL only when it came through an official CD PROJEKT installation or update. Reinstall from the official source if its location or origin is unexpected.

Analyst conclusion

All 74 antivirus engines produced no malware or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the DLL carries a verified CD PROJEKT S.A. signature. Although one sandbox mapped several offensive-capable techniques and an external IP contact, it issued no malware finding, and five signer-matched files have prior clean outcomes.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The completed sandbox mapped activity to offensive techniques T1055, T1560, and T1562.001, including a possible process-injection pattern.
  • The DirectIpC2 heuristic recorded contact with 162.159.36.2; contactedHosts=null, so no complete host-reputation result is available.
  • signing.signerStats.totalSamples=1 is too limited to establish independent auto-trusted publisher history.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Keep endpoint protection enabled and use this DLL only when it came through an official CD PROJEKT installation or update. Reinstall from the official source if its location or origin is unexpected.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Use it only as part of software obtained from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.

  2. Recovery step 02

    A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.

  3. Recovery step 03

    Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.

7 evidence-based answers
Is Galaxy.dll safe?
Evidence-based answer
Galaxy.dll appears safe. 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged it. It carries a verified digital signature from CD PROJEKT S.A.. Use it only as part of software obtained from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
What is Galaxy.dll?
Evidence-based answer
Galaxy.dll is a Windows library or loadable module, about 13.6 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. It carries a verified digital signature from CD PROJEKT S.A.. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected Galaxy.dll?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged Galaxy.dll. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
Is Galaxy.dll digitally signed?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — Galaxy.dll carries a valid digital signature from CD PROJEKT S.A., which confirms the file hasn't been tampered with since that publisher signed it. A valid signature is a positive signal, but note that malware is occasionally signed with stolen or abused certificates, so it isn't proof of safety on its own.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Galaxy.dll?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of Galaxy.dll is dcfe4b864b4ac6a48bf0b564ee42493ec645ef91f6a82d13059d425782f3cc31, and its MD5 is b3cfc94d4b36aedc5e4730e7185639f9. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to use Galaxy.dll?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, Galaxy.dll has a low observed risk and is properly signed. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of Galaxy.dll?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 23, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Galaxy.dll is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
