[INVALID]WinSCP 6.5.5 portable confusion - are there two versions? Does one of them contain malware?

Were there two versions of WinSCP 6.5.5 portable released?

Somehow I ended up with the version which does not match what you distribute now.

Have I been hacked? Have you been hacked?

Here's what I have, WinSCP.exe, version 6.5.5.16453, size 24,060,560 bytes.

md5sum WinSCP.exe

sha256sum WinSCP.exe

The current download, the same version and size, but

md5sum WinSCP.exe

sha256sum WinSCP.exe

Its VirusTotal check.

I've attached it here. Just to make things clear: I downloaded it from the official SourceForge pages.

Edit: spent an hour with ChatGPT discussing this weird build. Looks like it mostly matches the official except for the signature and certain relocations. I'm still freaked out.

"Good" version:

Final edit: disregard this topic. The new binary is the result of uncompressing the UPX-compressed file. It looks like it no longer produces bit-perfect decompression results.
