Is 15144-46 Harper.pdf safe?
No engine detected this PDF, and one completed sandbox run found no harmful activity, though its very recent appearance limits historical assurance.
All 75 antivirus engines show zero malicious or suspicious detections, and the completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict or observable activity. The document is newly observed and several engines timed out, so normal caution remains appropriate when opening an unexpected attachment.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 antivirus engines show zero malicious or suspicious detections, and the completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict or observable activity. The document is newly observed and several engines timed out, so normal caution remains appropriate when opening an unexpected attachment.
The strongest evidence is the complete absence of malicious or suspicious detections across 75 engines, including zero tier-1 detections. One completed sandbox run recorded no MITRE techniques, spawned processes, written files, dropped payloads, or network contacts. CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, and YARAify supplied no corroborating threat intelligence. Five prior PDF decisions were clean, although their file-type-only similarity provides limited support. The main uncertainty is that this exact document is newly observed, and 26 engines timed out rather than returning a conclusive result.
What We Detected
No antivirus engine marked the PDF as malicious or suspicious: the result was 0/75, with tier1Malicious=0. Microsoft, Avira, F-Secure, and Ikarus were among the tier-1 engines reporting it undetected. External checks also produced no CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, or YARAify hit.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict and recorded no MITRE techniques, processes, written files, dropped payloads, persistence indicators, or network contacts. Because contactedHosts=null, there is no separately completed host-reputation cross-check; however, the sandbox itself recorded no hosts requiring inspection.
What To Do Now
The available evidence supports opening the document with an updated PDF reader if it came from an expected source. Because the file is newly observed and 26 engines timed out, verify an unexpected attachment with the sender and avoid enabling embedded content or following unsolicited links.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- prevalence.classification=rare_new: the file is newly observed, with only 2 submitters and 2 submissions.
- 26/75 engines timed out, including Avast, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky, and Fortinet, so not every engine produced a conclusive result.
- contactedHosts=null, although no network contacts were recorded; no complete host-reputation cross-check is available.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 engines reported malicious or suspicious findings.
- engines.tier1Malicious=0, with 7 tier-1 engines reporting the file undetected.
- behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false in one completed sandbox run.
- No dropped files, persistence indicators, processes, or network contacts were recorded.
- CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, and YARAify returned no hits.
- The file is newly observed, with prevalence.classification=rare_new and only 2 submissions.
- 26/75 engines timed out and therefore did not provide conclusive results.
- contactedHosts=null, so no separate host-reputation cross-check was completed.
Open it only if the document was expected and use an updated PDF reader. If it arrived unexpectedly, confirm the sender and avoid embedded links or attachments.
