Is marksheet.pdf safe?

Verdict
Safe

No engine among 75 flagged this PDF, including 17 reporting tier-one engines, though its recent appearance and absent runtime analysis warrant routine caution.

All 75 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 tier-one engines, and the available external intelligence produced no threat hit. The PDF is newly observed and was not executed in a sandbox, so open it only if its source and expected contents are familiar.

Open with normal care

Open the PDF only if it came from an expected source, using an updated PDF reader with endpoint protection enabled. Delete it or confirm with the sender if the document was unsolicited.

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

Analyst conclusion

All 75 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 tier-one engines, and the available external intelligence produced no threat hit. The PDF is newly observed and was not executed in a sandbox, so open it only if its source and expected contents are familiar.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • behaviour=null, so no completed runtime analysis confirms how the PDF behaves when opened.
  • externalIntel.availability.yaraify='error' due to a timeout, leaving that research-rule check incomplete.
  • contactedHosts=null, so no complete host-reputation result is available.
  • The five prior safe samples share only matchKind=filetype, which is weak similarity and does not validate this exact PDF.

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

Open the PDF only if it came from an expected source, using an updated PDF reader with endpoint protection enabled. Delete it or confirm with the sender if the document was unsolicited.

Is marksheet.pdf safe?
Evidence-based answer
marksheet.pdf appears safe. 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
What is marksheet.pdf?
Evidence-based answer
marksheet.pdf is a document file (application/pdf), about 211 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 marksheet.pdf?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged marksheet.pdf. 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 marksheet.pdf?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of marksheet.pdf is c5cd0f216103b94218a185185809a9cfe3bdc3e158a1d38f749d910646260132, and its MD5 is 6dcf0787371cd10d328073c7743b75e6. 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 marksheet.pdf?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, marksheet.pdf 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 marksheet.pdf?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 28, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of marksheet.pdf 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.
