Why we think so
3 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the document, including the participating major antivirus engines, and available external intelligence produced no malware-specific match. It is and has no completed sandbox analysis, so normal caution remains appropriate when opening an unsolicited document.
The sample is an Office Open XML document rather than a native executable, and none of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it. Participating major antivirus engines such as Microsoft, Kaspersky, ESET, BitDefender, and Fortinet supplied no detection. Available external checks found neither a MalwareBazaar record nor a malware-specific YARA match. The file was first observed on Oct 13, 2026 and has only one recorded submission, which limits reputation-based assurance. No completed observation from the test run or complete host-reputation cross-check is available, so the absence of detections should not be interpreted as proof that all document behavior was examined. Similar DOCX files received five prior favorable decisions, but file-type-only similarity is weak supporting context.
What We Detected
None of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the DOCX file as malicious or suspicious. Participating major antivirus engines, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, ESET, BitDefender, and Fortinet, reported no detection. Available external intelligence also produced no MalwareBazaar record or malware-specific YARA match.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so runtime actions were not observed and should not be described as normal or clean. A complete reputation check for any potential contacted hosts is also unavailable. The file is with one recorded submission, which means it has little established reputation.
What To Do Now
If the document came from an expected sender and matches an anticipated proposal, it can be opened with standard Office protections enabled. If it arrived unexpectedly, verify the sender through a separate channel, use Protected View, and do not enable macros, external content, or editing unless required and trusted.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The document has only one recorded submission and was first observed on Oct 13, 2026, so reputation is not yet established.
- No completed sandbox run is available, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
- The five prior favorable comparisons are based only on DOCX file type, not matching content, hash, or publisher.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the document.
- Major antivirus engines including Microsoft, Kaspersky, ESET, BitDefender, and Fortinet supplied no detection.
- Available external intelligence found no malware-specific YARA match or MalwareBazaar record.
- No brand mismatch, suspicious filename pattern, or legacy rule-based trigger was identified.
- The document was first observed on Oct 13, 2026 and has only one recorded submission.
- No completed sandbox analysis is available to assess behavior in the test run.
- No complete reputation result is available for any potential network contacts.
