Why we think so
3 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Caution remains because execution mapped two offensive techniques and contacted an IP whose reputation was not fully checked.
The strongest evidence is broad antivirus agreement: none of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including Avast, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky, and Microsoft. One completed sandbox produced no malware verdict and no confirmed malicious child, although four child verdicts remain unknown. Runtime mapping included and T1562.001, which warrants caution but is not sufficient by itself to establish harmful intent. The sample contacted 162.159.36.2 directly, and no complete host-reputation result is available because the contacted-host check was not saved. Research feeds produced no CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, or YARAify match, leaving no independent family attribution.
What We Detected
None of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the JAR, and all 17 participating major antivirus engines reported no detection. CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, and YARAify also returned no matching threat intelligence.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox did not issue a malware finding. It nevertheless mapped T1543.002 and T1562.001 and observed direct contact with 162.159.36.2. The host-reputation cross-check was not completed or saved, so that connection cannot be described as benign. Four child hashes were inspected without a confirmed malicious child, but their individual verdicts remain unknown.
What To Do Now
Use the file only if it came from the expected project or distribution channel.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The completed sandbox mapped and T1562.001, techniques associated with service execution and impairment of defenses.
- Direct contact with 162.159.36.2 triggered one of our behaviour rules, and the missing contacted-host reputation result means the host was not fully reputation-checked.
- The four written child hashes were inspected but have unknown individual verdicts, so their absence from the malicious count is not affirmative clearance.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/65 engines reported malicious or suspicious findings.
- 17 major antivirus engines, including BitDefender, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, and Microsoft, reported no detection.
- No sandbox returned a malicious verdict after one completed sandbox run.
- No dropped file is known to be malicious across four inspected children.
- CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, and YARAify returned no hits.
- Runtime mapping includes and T1562.001.
- All four inspected child hashes have unknown individual verdicts.
- No applicable code-signing identity is available for this JAR.
