The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
No engine flagged the file malicious. Five similar PDFs were previously marked safe under the same low-trust-only pattern. The file is new and contains embedded JavaScript, but nothing triggered detection.
All 75 engines returned clean or undetected results, including 16 tier-1 engines. The file is a newly submitted PDF containing embedded JavaScript, yet no heuristic or signature engine raised an alert. Five prior PDFs of the same type received identical safe verdicts. No sandbox data, external-intel hits, or contacted-host reputation data are available, leaving the static evidence as the sole basis for assessment.
What We Detected
75 antivirus engines scanned the 38 MB PDF; none returned a malicious or suspicious result. The file carries tags indicating embedded JavaScript and auto-action features, but these alone did not trigger any engine.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution data or external-intel matches are present. The file is too recent for prevalence history, and no contacted hosts or dropped children were recorded.
What To Do Now
Because the file is new and contains active content, open it only in a PDF reader with JavaScript disabled or in a sandboxed environment if the source is untrusted.
- 0/75 engines flagged malicious
- 5 prior same-filetype safe verdicts
- rare_new prevalence
- embedded JavaScript present
The file can be considered safe for normal use, but treat any newly submitted document with embedded scripts cautiously until more history accumulates.
