Cudy transitional images generate virus warning on Windows

Hi,

Looking at creating Device Pages for both the RE3000 and the M3000, and looking at testing the undocumented sysupgrade transitional upgrades found in https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BKVarlwlNxf7uJUtRhuMGUqeCa5KpMnj?usp=sharing

Upon trying to download either M3000 v1 or RE3000 v1 zip files for the transition testing to document the Device pages, I'm being informed by Windows that both zips contain viruses.

Is anyone else seeing this?

I only have the warning for the M300 v1. Odd indeed.

I do not get a warning for the WR3000S zip for example

Just tried WR3000S and H, nothing. I used the WR3000H file to install this device two days ago. I manualy extracted the sysupgrade file without the others. Maybe the issue is in the other files, or simply a false positive.
EDIT : WR3000S and H files only contains the sysupgrade file. RE3000 v1 zip also contains recovery and TFTP files.

I get no warnings in Win11, GDrive however tells me the ZIP content might be harmful.

even if that's correct, they're not executables, pretty tricky to get infected.

RE3000 zip scan results: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/311a8acf404f6337d564cbbe8a8811d706440ea748b3d63b8dbd4827b4b4dcd2

I can read TFTP32 several times.

yes looks like the recovery folder in each download is causing the threat alert

that's no surprise, since TFTP is a low level protocol/application for (among other things) reprogramming (some might call it hacking) routers and other devices.

happens on m1800 file as well.

it should happen on all ZIPs containing the TFTP executables.

It's quite boring. An alert is supposed to occur when a program is actively doing bad things, not when you can do bad things using the program. Is next step an alert when AI detects you think about doing bad things? :zany_face:

if anyone needs these images, I got round the issue by downloading the entire folder and then extracting the sysupgrade from the double zip.

WinDefender doesn't protest when unzipping ?

Threw it on a Linux vps, unzipped, took what I required.
