Is db.php safe?
No antivirus engine detected the PHP file, and neither available researcher-intelligence checks nor supplemental heuristics supplied evidence of a known threat.
All 75 antivirus engines were free of malicious or suspicious detections, including 16 tier-1 engines that reported no detection. No family consensus, heuristic trigger, or available external-intelligence match supports a threat finding, although runtime and contacted-host evidence are unavailable.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 antivirus engines were free of malicious or suspicious detections, including 16 tier-1 engines that reported no detection. No family consensus, heuristic trigger, or available external-intelligence match supports a threat finding, although runtime and contacted-host evidence are unavailable.
The strongest evidence is the absence of malicious or suspicious findings across all 75 antivirus engines. Sixteen tier-1 engines, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, and BitDefender, reported no detection. Available CIRCL and YARAify checks produced no match, and no supplemental heuristic fired. However, no completed sandbox run exists, so the PHP code's runtime actions were not observed. Contacted-host reputation was also not checked or saved, and one external-intelligence query failed, limiting confidence below the maximum.
What We Detected
None of the 75 antivirus engines reported the file as malicious or suspicious. Sixteen tier-1 engines reported no detection, and there was no named-family consensus. CIRCL returned no hit, YARAify matched zero rules, and no supplemental heuristic was triggered.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available for this PHP file, so its execution behavior cannot be characterized. No complete contacted-host reputation result is available either. One external-intelligence source also failed to return a usable result.
What To Do Now
The available static evidence provides no indication of a known threat. Because PHP files execute on a server and can perform sensitive database or filesystem operations, review the source before deployment and test it in an isolated environment, especially if its origin is untrusted.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- behaviour=null, so the file has no completed runtime observation and potentially harmful PHP actions were not dynamically evaluated.
- contactedHosts=null, meaning no complete host-reputation result is available.
- externalIntel.availability.malwareBazaar='error', leaving that external-intelligence check incomplete.
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 engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- 16 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- YARAify matched 0 rules and CIRCL returned no hit.
- No heuristic rule fired and no tier-1 family consensus exists.
- No completed runtime observation is available for the PHP code.
- Contacted-host reputation was not checked or saved.
- The MalwareBazaar intelligence query returned an error.
- The file has only one recorded submission source.
Source-review the PHP code before placing it on a production server, particularly if its origin is unknown. Keep endpoint and server protection enabled, and test it in an isolated environment.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
- Recovery step 02
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
- Recovery step 03
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
