Is pdf-seeds.html safe?

Verdict
Safe

No engine detected a threat in this HTML file, although its embedded JavaScript remains unobserved at runtime and the sample is newly seen.

All 75 antivirus engines produced no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines. The file is newly observed and contains embedded JavaScript, while no sandbox run or complete contacted-host check is available, so it should still be opened only if its source and purpose are expected.

Open with normal care

Use the file if it came from a trusted, expected source; otherwise inspect it in isolation before opening. Keep browser and endpoint protection enabled.

The reasoning behind this verdict

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

Analyst conclusion

All 75 antivirus engines produced no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines. The file is newly observed and contains embedded JavaScript, while no sandbox run or complete contacted-host check is available, so it should still be opened only if its source and purpose are expected.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The file was first submitted today and has only one recorded submission, so its 0/75 detection result has not yet accumulated a long reputation history.
  • behaviour=null and contactedHosts=null mean neither runtime activity nor complete contacted-host reputation was evaluated.
  • The 'contains-embedded-js' tag indicates active content that static engines may not fully assess.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Use the file if it came from a trusted, expected source; otherwise inspect it in isolation before opening. Keep browser and endpoint protection enabled.

6 evidence-based answers
Is pdf-seeds.html safe?
Evidence-based answer
pdf-seeds.html appears safe. 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. Open it only when you trust its source; use an isolated viewer if the origin is uncertain.
What is pdf-seeds.html?
Evidence-based answer
pdf-seeds.html is a saved web page (text/html), about 21 KB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected pdf-seeds.html?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged pdf-seeds.html. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What is the SHA-256 hash of pdf-seeds.html?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of pdf-seeds.html is ac54919b6ae51358d16d4f2e0243275efbc838a4b422f3188e145321b7da2e4f, and its MD5 is 55c98402e81f9fc9678adb9c15c2227b. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to open pdf-seeds.html?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, pdf-seeds.html has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of pdf-seeds.html?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 26, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of pdf-seeds.html is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
