Is EDGE Mutual NDA (Template) V2.pdf.html safe?
No antivirus engine detected this HTML file, although its PDF-like double extension and lack of runtime analysis justify ordinary caution when opening it.
All 75 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 tier-1 engines, and no external intelligence matches were found. However, the file is newly observed, uses a PDF-like double extension, and has no completed runtime or network-host analysis, so open it only if its source is expected.

Before opening
Open it only when you trust its source; use an isolated viewer if the origin is uncertain.
If you already opened it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 tier-1 engines, and no external intelligence matches were found. However, the file is newly observed, uses a PDF-like double extension, and has no completed runtime or network-host analysis, so open it only if its source is expected.
The strongest evidence is the absence of detections across 75 antivirus engines, including 17 tier-1 products. MalwareBazaar and YARAify supplied no corroborating intelligence, and no malicious family was identified. Code signing is not meaningful for an HTML document, so the lack of a signature carries no weight. The file is newly observed from one source, and file-type-only historical matches offer limited reassurance rather than a close identity match. No sandbox run was completed, and no comprehensive contacted-host reputation check is available, leaving embedded scripts, redirects, and web destinations unassessed. The PDF-like name ending in .html also warrants confirming the sender and viewing the true extension before opening it.
What We Detected
No detections were reported by 75 antivirus engines, including 17 tier-1 engines such as Avast, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky, and Microsoft. MalwareBazaar returned no match, while YARAify returned zero matching rules. No malware family or category was identified.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available because behaviour is null. A comprehensive host-reputation check is also unavailable because contactedHosts is null, so potential scripts, redirects, downloads, credential prompts, and network destinations were not dynamically assessed. The filename resembles a PDF but its actual type is HTML, which can cause users to open browser-active content under the mistaken impression that it is a document.
What To Do Now
Confirm that the sender and NDA were expected, and verify that the visible extension is .html before opening it. Keep endpoint protection enabled, avoid entering credentials into pages opened by the file, and delete or quarantine it if its origin is unexpected.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- The filename ends in '.pdf.html', which may mislead users into expecting a PDF even though file.mimeType is text/html.
- behaviour=null, so active HTML content, redirects, downloads, or credential prompts were not observed at runtime.
- contactedHosts=null, meaning no complete reputation result is available for any potential network destinations.
- The sample is newly observed from one source, so its absence from current detections may not reflect mature coverage.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 antivirus engines reported a detection.
- engines.tier1Malicious=0, with 17 tier-1 engines reporting no detection.
- externalIntel.malwareBazaar.hit=false.
- externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0.
- No triggeredHeuristics entries or brand mismatch were present.
- The file is newly observed and has only one recorded submission.
- The name ends in '.pdf.html', potentially disguising HTML as a PDF document.
- No completed runtime observation is available.
- No comprehensive contacted-host reputation result is available.
Open the file only if the sender and NDA are expected, preferably in an isolated browser or document-review environment. Keep endpoint protection enabled and do not enter credentials or approve downloads prompted by the HTML.
