Why we think so
0 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
When it was opened in the sandbox, only Adobe Acrobat and its own helper processes ran. No network contacts or injection targets were recorded for it.
The sandbox runs show Acrobat opening the file and Adobe's crash-reporting tools writing their usual logs. Two technique labels for injection and credential access appear in the sandbox summary, but no matching activity was recorded behind them. No network contacts by the document were observed. Our own static inspection of the PDF was not available, and the file has been submitted by a single source, which limits the history behind this assessment.
What We Detected
