This Flash file is flagged by 37 of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it, including Microsoft, Kaspersky and ESET, as an exploit for the CVE-2014-0569 Flash Player…
Read the whole reasonShow less
Strong evidence · Two or more major antivirus engines agree.
Delete this file and do not open it in any browser or Flash player. Remove Flash Player if it is still installed and run a full scan with your security software enabled.
What to do now4 steps
This file is harmful. Don't run it, and remove it.
If you haven't opened it
Don't open this file. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash.
If you already opened it
Disconnect the device from the internet, then run a full scan with your security software.
If you typed passwords on the device after running it, change them from another device you trust.
If the scan keeps finding it, or the device still acts strangely, scan again with a second-opinion scanner from another company; if that doesn't fix it, back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system.
If you already ran it, do these in order.

Why we think so
3 points against it and 0 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
It was first seen on Nov 15, 2014 and matches files served by web exploit kits to silently install malware on unpatched systems.
Ten major antivirus engines, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, Avira, DrWeb and ESET, flag the file, and most labels name the same Flash Player vulnerability, CVE-2014-0569. Other labels tie it to exploit-kit delivery, and a researcher note links it to the RIG exploit kit. The sandbox runs gave a clean combined verdict, which is expected when the vulnerable Flash Player is not present to exploit. The browser-data file write seen when it ran came from the browser that opened the file and is not meaningful credential access. Wide sharing since 2014 reflects its status as a known exploit sample, not legitimacy.
What We Detected
37 of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flag this 8 KB Flash (SWF) file. Ten major antivirus engines agree it is an exploit, with labels such as Exploit:SWF/CVE-2014-0569 (Microsoft), Exploit.SWF.Papaka.a (Kaspersky) and SWF/Exploit.ExKit.G (ESET-NOD32). It was first seen on Nov 15, 2014.
Threat Behavior
The file targets a Flash Player memory flaw (CVE-2014-0569). Pages hosting web exploit kits served files like this to run code on visitors with outdated Flash and then download further malware. The sandbox runs opened it in Internet Explorer and gave a clean combined verdict, most likely because no vulnerable Flash Player was present to exploit.
What To Do Now
Do not open this file. Delete it. If it came from a web page, run a full scan with up-to-date protection. Flash Player has reached end of life, so uninstall it if it is still present.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- The sandbox runs produced a clean combined verdict, but the analysis machines likely lacked the vulnerable Flash Player version, so the exploit would have had nothing to trigger.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Ten major antivirus engines identify it as a Flash Player exploit for CVE-2014-0569
- Labels from several engines tie it to web exploit kits used to install malware silently
- More than half of all engines flag the file

What the test run showed
What the file did on a test computer
Confirmed in the test run
Moderate concern: Used an unusual way to talk to a server.
Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.
Note: Talked to servers over the internet during the test run.
Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.
Note: Looked through folders on the test computer (most installers do this).
Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.
This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.
Threat context
How downloaders work
This file is a delivery vehicle. On its own it can look small and harmless, but its job is to fetch and install the real payload, often a password stealer, ransomware or a bot, from a server the attacker controls.
Bottom line:Because the dangerous part arrives later, early scans can look cleaner than the threat really is.
