Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 64 antivirus engines that checked it returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 major antivirus engines. One sandbox mapped activity to three offensive MITRE techniques, but issued no malicious conclusion, observed no network contacts, and found no confirmed malicious child, so those behavioral mappings remain uncorroborated.
The strongest signal is complete detection silence: 0 of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the sample, including all 17 major antivirus engines. One completed sandbox mapped activity to T1055, T1543.002, and T1562.001, but did not issue a malicious sandbox conclusion. Those mappings are concerning in isolation, yet the saved process evidence does not establish operator intent or a specific injection method. Seven dropped hashes were inspected without a malicious-child finding, although their individual status remains unknown. No CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, or YARAify corroboration was found, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
What We Detected
Potion.jar received 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections from 75 antivirus engines.
Threat Behavior
The sandbox did not issue a malicious conclusion, however, and the recorded evidence does not prove a specific injection method or hostile intent. No domains, IP addresses, or URLs were observed during that run. Seven dropped hashes were inspected without a malicious-child finding, but each child remains individually unclassified. A complete contacted-host reputation check was not saved.
What To Do Now
Use the file only if it came from an expected source, and keep security software enabled. If the origin is unfamiliar or the JAR requests elevated privileges, persistence, or protection changes, avoid running it and obtain a fresh copy from the official distributor.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The completed sandbox mapped activity to T1055, T1543.002, and T1562.001, which can indicate injection, service persistence, and impairment of defenses.
- All 7 inspected files it created have unknown individual verdicts, so the absence of a known-malicious dropped file is not equivalent to seven confirmed-benign children.
- The missing contacted-host reputation result means no saved host-reputation cross-check is available, although no network contacts were recorded during the observed run.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/64 engines reported a malicious or suspicious detection.
- No sandbox returned a malicious verdict.
- No dropped file is known to be malicious.
- YARAify, CIRCL, and MalwareBazaar returned no hits.
- Sandbox mappings include T1055, T1543.002, and T1562.001.
- The missing contacted-host reputation result leaves host-reputation coverage unavailable.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.
