Why we think so
0 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this PDF document, including every major antivirus engine. The sandbox only recorded the PDF reader, its helpers and a browser opening a reader promotion page. No malware-specific rules matched, and the file has been around for over four years without detections.
None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this PDF, and all 18 major antivirus engines reported it clean. The sandbox process tree shows Acrobat, its crash and log helpers, and Chrome opening an Adobe promotional link, which is ordinary viewer behaviour. The network contacts fit reader and browser content-delivery traffic, although no complete host-reputation result is available. Embedded JavaScript and form features are common in e-book PDFs, and the only community rules that matched were generic.
What We Detected
0 of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this PDF document. No malware-specific YARA rules matched, and the file has no public malware-database listing. It was first seen more than four years ago.
Threat Behavior
In the sandbox runs, only Adobe Acrobat, its crash and log helpers, and Chrome opening an Adobe promotional page were recorded. No injection target and no persistence were observed. The few direct IP contacts are consistent with reader and browser traffic, but no complete host-reputation check is available. The document contains JavaScript and form features, which are common in PDFs.
What To Do Now
The file appears to be an ordinary document. Open it in an up-to-date PDF reader, and keep your antivirus protection enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- The document carries embedded JavaScript and an auto-action, which can be abused in malicious PDFs; our own static analysis of the bytes was not available to inspect them.
