Microsoft Defender false positive and WDSI submission details unavailable for signed app

Hello,

I am the developer and publisher of Pulse Launcher, a legitimate signed Windows application / Minecraft mod launcher.

I am seeing two related issues:

  1. Microsoft Defender cloud ML false positives keep appearing on VirusTotal for the same signed application/product family. The Microsoft detection name changes across rescans and equivalent builds, including:
  • PUA:Win32/Puwaders.C!ml
  • Program:Win32/Wacapew.C!ml
  • Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml
  • Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml
  • Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.EN.A!ml
  1. The Microsoft Security Intelligence submission portal appears to have a bug. My submissions are visible in Submission history and show status "In progress", but opening the submission details page returns:

The details for the submission were not found or the submission has expired.

Current affected submission IDs:

  • dd476efa-fc04-4f13-82cf-631bbfd145a6
  • efc6514c-d700-4d6a-a7e2-67a9a83334a2
  • ff8d04b7-c5fc-4a05-bd53-ee7ac5981284

File details:

  • File name: pulse_launcher.exe
  • SHA-256: def6059c07c3e1f4a8c5649a1bbf190d4f355ee8e8b88c55c5b404edee99ecc8
  • Signer: FOP Haponiuk Mykola Viktorovych
  • Certificate: GlobalSign EV Code Signing certificate

The executable is not VMProtect-packed or obfuscated. It is a launcher signed with an EV certificate. A previous Microsoft analyst response stated that the submitted file did not meet Microsoft criteria for malware or PUA, but Microsoft cloud detections continue to appear on VirusTotal.

Could someone route this to Microsoft Defender Security Intelligence / the malware analysis team, or advise how to escalate stuck WDSI submissions where the history entry exists but the details endpoint returns "not found or expired"?

Thank you.
