Is energy-report-2026-09-14.xml safe?
None of 74 antivirus engines detected the XML file, although its recent appearance and lack of runtime analysis warrant ordinary source verification.
All 74 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 high-trust engines. No external intelligence matched the hash, but the file is newly observed and has no completed runtime analysis, so its source and expected contents should still be verified.

Before opening
Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
If you already opened it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 74 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 high-trust engines. No external intelligence matched the hash, but the file is newly observed and has no completed runtime analysis, so its source and expected contents should still be verified.
Static scanning produced no malicious or suspicious results across 74 antivirus engines. Seventeen high-trust engines reported no detection, and no engine supplied a malware-family label. Malware intelligence and YARA checks also produced no matches. Because this is XML, code signing is not expected and its absence carries no weight. Confidence is moderated because the hash was first observed today, no runtime execution was completed, and no comprehensive contacted-host reputation check is available.
What We Detected
None of 74 antivirus engines reported this 52,374-byte XML file as malicious or suspicious. The non-detecting set includes 17 high-trust engines such as Microsoft, Kaspersky, BitDefender, and ESET-NOD32. External intelligence checks also returned no known-malware or YARA matches.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so runtime behavior cannot be characterized. A comprehensive contacted-host reputation result is also unavailable. Since the sample is XML rather than executable code, the absence of code signing is expected and does not increase risk.
What To Do Now
Confirm that the file came from the expected source and that the application opening it is fully updated. If it arrived unexpectedly or requests unusual external resources when opened, avoid further interaction and obtain a fresh copy from the legitimate source.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- behaviour=null means no completed runtime execution was available to reveal potentially harmful XML-driven actions.
- contactedHosts=null means no complete host-reputation result is available.
- prevalence.classification=rare_new indicates limited real-world history, so static non-detection is not conclusive.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 antivirus engines reported malicious or suspicious content.
- 17 high-trust engines returned no detection.
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify match was found.
- No brand mismatch or filename-related heuristic fired.
- The hash is newly observed and has only one recorded submission.
- No completed runtime behavior analysis is available.
- No comprehensive contacted-host reputation result is available.
The file may be opened with a fully updated XML-aware application if its source is expected. Treat unsolicited copies cautiously and keep endpoint protection enabled.

Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. That limits reputation evidence, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.

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.
